Hence, it is important that an effort be made to establish a fairly comprehensive picture of the environmental issues with which the Community is likely to be faced over the next 10-12 years and to try to identify the solutions to possible problems at an early stage, so as to provide a better basis for the definition of balanced and effective Community responses and policies.
