The assessments are carried out by teams of international experts who are consulted by national institutions and specialists. Along with the overviews of the status of environmental information, these publications contain national SoE data aggregated in accordance with the OECD methodology. The reports primarily contained national reports prepared by countries themselves. SoE reports are available as paper publications updated on a regular basis. Information on SoE in most of these countries is accessible via Internet.
Most countries publish environment statistics yearbooks and sectoral reports.
There is a great variance within this group. Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovenia have been issuing SoE reports quite regularly. Sectoral reports exist in most of these countries, Slovenian meteorological data are accessible via the Internet. On the other hand, there has been little information available regarding national-level integrated SoER in such countries as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, and the FYR Macedonia. Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia are quite advanced in the NEAP process, Slovenia and Albania are also participating in the process.
