Belgium – Environmental services – Preparatory Action project for EU Biodiversity Observation Coordination Centre (EBOCC)

The contract will pilot and test the biodiversity observation coordination centre and monitoring framework on the basis of the EuropaBON proposal. In this way, the contract will contribute to better availability, coherence and accessibility of biodiversity data in support of the EU biodiversity policy implementation at national, EU and global level, and support a coherent, structured and cost-effective EU approach to systematic biodiversity observation. This will streamline biodiversity data flows and reduce administrative burden in Member States with regard to biodiversity monitoring and reporting.
