Summary/Abstract: The article contains an overview of the work on the implementation of the European Environmental Economic Accounts (EEEA), which are seen as instruments to monitor the pressure exerted by the economy on the environment as well as study how to reduce it. The issues on EEEA have been regulated by Regulation (EU) No. 691/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2011 on European Environmental Economic Accounts. This Regulation establishes a common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of EEEA to set up environmental economic accounts as satellite accounts to ESA’95. It provides that the environmental accounts are grouped into modules. This will allow the introduction of additional modules without interfering with the basic provisions of the Regulation. The article describes the current scope of work and the development plan of EEEA in Poland.
