The TESS Environmental Information Workshop presented the results of the first phase of the TESS project to guide the formulation of its succeeding stages. These results were set in the context of international perspectives on Environmental Impact Assessment and the use of environmental information for decision making at national to local levels.

Participants were experts from the 14 TESS partner institutions, survey co-ordinators from the European Union 27 and neighbouring countries, presenters and invited representatives from the European Commission, national and local government and wild resource beneficiaries – about 60 people in all.
