"A sound assessment of European environmental policy is only possible if reliable data is available. Mandatory data collection by the Member States is therefore necessary. We refer, in particular, to the collection of data regarding air emissions, environmental taxes applicable to various economic sectors and macro-economic material flow accounting. In our view, environmental economic accounts should contribute to policy evaluation, particularly by making available data concerning the environmental impact of economic activities. Such information could be extremely valuable for the purposes of environmental policy making. We agree that a verification clause should be introduced and that the Commission should report regularly on the implementation of the regulation in practice. We believe it is important to verify the reliability and comparability of the data in order to be able to make improvements and guarantee a high standard of environmental accounting. Due account should also be taken of the development of new modules and experience acquired in the course of pilot studies. The verification report should be regarded as an opportunity to adjust the regulation in the light of fresh developments and experiences."@en1
