GTOS Regional Implementation Plan for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)

Abstract
February, 2000

The GTOS programme for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is the first initiative to build a regional network of terrestrial observing sites. The first phase of the programme (January- September 1999) had four main components: a user needs assessment; detailed country studies for the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, organization of a workshop and the preparation of the regional implementation plan. The CEE programme identified the main user needs related to data, information, data policy, capacity building and management requirements that GTOS should satisfy during its operation. According to these criteria, a management plan has been elaborated with regional coordination at the FAO Sub-regional Office for Central and Eastern Europe (SEUR) in Budapest.
