(37) The assessment of progress towards the attainment of the priority objectives of the 8th EAP should reflect latest developments as regards the availability and relevance of data and indicators. It should be coherent with, and without prejudice to, monitoring and governance tools covering more specific aspects of environment and climate policy, such as, in particular, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, the Environmental Implementation Review, announced by the Commission in its communication of 27 May 2016 entitled ‘Delivering the benefits of EU environmental policies through a regular Environmental Implementation Review’, and monitoring tools relating to a circular economy, zero pollution, biodiversity, air, water, soil, waste, or any other environment policies. Together with tools used under the European Semester, Eurostat’s SDG Monitoring and the Commission communication of 9 September 2020 entitled the ‘2020 Strategic Foresight Report’, assessment of progress towards attaining the priority objectives of the 8th EAP should form part of a cross-cutting, coherent and interconnected set of monitoring and governance tools, covering not only environmental but also social and economic factors.
