(7) Environment action programmes have guided the development of EU environment policy since the early 1970s. The 7th EAP will expire on 31 December 2020 and its Article 4 (3) requires the Commission, if appropriate, to present a proposal for an Eighth Environment Action Programme (8th EAP) in a timely manner with a view to avoiding a gap between the 7th and the 8th EAP. The European Green Deal announced the adoption of a new environment action programmProgramme. The European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) should, where appropriate, involve other European agencies, such as the European Aviation Safety Agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency and the European Railway Agency in order to better understand the specific characteristics of the sectors and to benefit from the most relevant data and knowledge.

(10) The 8th EAP should set out thematic priority objectives in areas of climate neutrality, adaption to climate change, protecting and restoring biodiversity, circular economy, the zero pollution ambition and reducing environmental pressures from production and consumption. It should furthermore identify the enabling conditions to achieve the long-term and the thematic priority objectives for all actors involved. At the same time, it must ensure that thematic priority objectives and sectoral policies are integrated, in order to improve policy coherence, taking into account the specific characteristics of sectors such as transport and tourism.

(15) The Commission and the EEA and other relevant European agencies should access and re-use the data and indicators provided by the Member States in accordance with applicable Union legal acts. In addition, other data sources, such as satellite data and processed information from the European Earth Monitoring Programme (Copernicus), the European Forest Fire Information System and the European Flood Awareness System, or data platforms such as European Marine Observation and Data Network or the Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring should be utilised. The application of modern digital tools and artificial intelligence allows managing and analysing the data in an effective way and thereby reducing administrative burden whilst increasing timeliness and quality.

(17) To reach the priority objectives of the 8th EAP, the EEA and ECHA should be equipped with adequate capacity and sufficient resources to ensure a sound, accessible and transparent knowledge and evidence base to support the implementation of the strategic priorities of the European Green Deal and the assessment of progress under the programme. The EEA and ECHA should, where appropriate, involve other European agencies, such as the European Aviation Safety Agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency and the European Railway Agency in order to better understand the specific characteristics of the sectors and benefit from the most relevant knowledge and data.
