Abstract
This paper presents the SEA-related proposals of the “Study to Develop and Implement an Overall Strategy for EIA and SEA Research in the EU”, undertaken by the EC JRC Ispra for EC DG XI, Brussels. The proposals are based on deficiencies and research needs common to a number of Member States, identified through a literature survey, with emphasis on the findings of four selected documents and through the analysis of the responses to a questionnaire prepared by the authors of this Study and filled in by acknowledged EIA/SEA experts; research projects recently completed or in progress have also been taken into account to avoid duplication of effort. In this context, four SEA areas have been selected as priority areas for research. One or more research tasks are proposed within each of the priority areas. The proposed research activities are complemented by support measures to implement the research strategy.
