Implementing air quality e-Reporting Data deliverables in 2013 and 2014 and the process of reporting Tony Bush ETC/ACM AQ e-Reporting task leader 18th EIONET Workshop - Dublin, October 2013 European Environment Agency AQ data model AQ zones Assessmen t regimes Assessmen t methods Primary UTD data Primary validated data Aggregated data Attainment information AQ Plans

European Environment Agency Introduction Aim of this presentation Timeline for AQ e-Reporting Roles & responsibilities Deliverables for 31 December 2013 Tooling up to prepare your deliverables Uploading & CDR structure for new deliverables What to expect when you upload Forward look at 2014

European Environment Agency Aim of this presentation Introduction to implementing Air Quality e-Reporting A low-tech and light-touch general introduction Trying to avoiding jargon and acronyms Focusing on using air quality terminologies not INSPIRE Detailed explanations to follow later today

European Environment Agency We in a transition phase to AQ e-Reporting Replace old rules for regulatory and informative information on air quality to the Commission Upgrade standards for data encoding and sharing Streamline duplication in reporting data flows Reinforce internal consistency in regulatory data flows Embark on the first step towards INSPIRE for AQ to support information sharing and the SEIS

European Environment Agency 31 December is your deadline for an informative delivery to support regulatory data flows AQ assessment methods Data flow deliverables for end 2013

European Environment Agency 2 regulatory data flow deliverables 1 supporting informative dataflow Summary of deliverables December 2013

European Environment Agency 4 data flow deliverables overall Don’t forget to your Near Real Time data feeds now called up-to-date data (UTD) Summary of deliverables December 2013

European Environment Agency How should I be preparing now ? 2012 Eionet workshop recommendations Get your house in order ! Know how holds your data Where is it How it’s stored Cross check your data holdings against the IPR data specifications Migrate your data holdings to a database or think of a work around if file based system is a must Get some IT support for your AQ experts XML Extract Transform and Load (ETL) software to load the XML deliveries

European Environment Agency How should I prepare now ? Do some reading The IPR Decision Commission guidance part I Commission guidance part II Data model & schema user guide

European Environment Agency How should I prepare now ? Work out your minimum requirements Work out where (if) there are gaps in your data holdings Decide how to close the gaps Familiarise yourself with the AQUI software Collect, organise and rationalise your data Reporting Header (AQQ form 1 / DEM) Stations (DEM / AQQ forms 3-7) Zones (AQQ form 2) Shapefiles Assessment regimes threshold exceedances (AQQ forms 9-10)

European Environment Agency How generate data flow deliveries ? Gather your data Process your data Use your preferred method to write XML AQUI Bespoke system Check that it validates against the schema locally Upload to the CDR as you currently do for DEM and AQQ FTP up-to-date data flow to EEA EEA’s Repornet CDR AQUI Bespoke MS system ReportNet CDR

European Environment Agency CDR structure CDR envelope will be organised with folders for each delivery Upload data flows into appropriate envelope If uploading shapefiles for zones generate a sub-envelope and upload (B) AQ zones Shapefiles AQ zone XML delivery Shapefile(s)

European Environment Agency What happens after upload ? On upload automatic CDR QC routines will run QC routines generate feedback reports Warnings on format & content Fatal errors that will prevent delivery Reporter can review, take action & redeliver

European Environment Agency September 2014 deliveries Replicate existing DEM / AQQ September obligations in the e-Reporting system Act as a confirmation of what actually happened Delivers valid data September 2014 will report on 2013 calendar year 6-data themes for Member State regulatory reporting 4-data themes for EIONET users for exchange of information reporting

European Environment Agency Summary of September deliverables Confirm or update information on the methods applied in the previous year Zones applied Assessment regimes used Assessment methods operating Deliver validated measurement data Deliver valid aggregated data (measurements & models) Deliver an attainment (compliance) statement
