Please read and if you are interested reply *as soon as possible* as we are exceeding our deadline. This is a reposting after less succesful attemps elswhere. Thank you. The European Commission has recently issued a Communication to the Council and the European Parliament on "Directions for the EU on Environmental Indicators and Green National Accounting" (COM (94) 670 final). In the context of this initiative, Eurostat (the Statistical Office of the European Communities) has launched a series of projects aimed at improving statistical environ mental information. Since this task will imply great efforts of the EU Member States' Statistical Services, the Commission has decided to seek the advice of environmental experts *in all EU Member States*. These experts will be asked, by way of short written questionnaires, to define the best possible indica tors to describe human activities affecting the environment, and to assess their relative importan ce. As a first step, Eurostat has asked us to establish a preliminary list of experts for the policy field "Natural Resources". The typical profile of the experts we are looking for would be a natural scientist (preferably university lecturer or researcher) from a European member state with a broad knowledge of natural resources and at least five years of professional experience. We hope that you could help us to identify senior experts who fit the desired profile. Since we need these names *urgently*, we ask that you E-mail us some names and addresses. Please be as complete as possible. One of the goals of this project is to find areas of agreement as well as disagreement between the "societal actors" in environmental policy. We will therefore ask, at a later stage, such actors, eg. industry & agricultural federations, environmental ministries and environmental NGOs to choose an expert from the preliminary list who would reflect their particular view on the subject. Therefore, although we will put the names on the *proposal* list, we cannot guarantee that they will be incuded in the final list of experts chosen by the societal actors. We will E-mail any respondents later with updates on the project.
