(39) Robust and meaningful data and indicators are needed in order to monitor progress towards attaining the priority objectives of the 8th EAP. The Commission, the EEA and other relevant agencies should access, re-use and build on 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 taken from the Union’s Earth Observation Programme (Copernicus), the European Forest Fire Information System, the Biodiversity Information System for Europe, the Land Parcel Identification System and the European Flood Awareness System, and data platforms such as the European Marine Observation and Data Network and the Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring should be utilised. The application of modern digital tools and artificial intelligence allows the data to be managed and analysed in an effective way and thereby reduces the administrative burden, whilst increasing timeliness and quality. To assess progress towards attaining the priority objectives of the 8th EAP, non-legally binding targets could be used in addition to legally binding targets set out in Union law.
