Status: Item 6 – WISE developments and Implementation Plan WG D Reporting 21 March 2006

Status: The EU bodies (DG ENV, JRC, ESTAT and EEA) and EU25 Member States, Norway, Bulgaria and Romania agreed on the Water Directors’ meeting in November 2003 the: newcomprehensiveshared “Development of a new, comprehensive, shared European data and information management system for water, including river basins (WISE). The system should be based on the concept paper and should be fully implemented by 2010” Common objective

Status: The “Water Information System for Europe” is: an idea/vision (2002) a concept (2003) – concept paper published on internet a process (2003 …) – Working Group D on Reporting a co-operation (between EU bodies and MS) a set of tools (GIS, prototype, RTD, …) an internet and “single entry” portal a definition of reporting requirements a gateway for (public) information (2006) What is WISE?

Status: Input prototype online ( WFD reporting 2004, 2005 and 2007 (Art. 3,5+8) WFD 2004 reporting tool online, 2005 tool ready for submission (see letter to WD of 14/2/06) 21 MS completed WISE reporting 2004, some MS started 2005 submission Screening studies completed to integrate other databases – UWWT and intercalibration WISE Implementation Plan , agreed in principle WISE state-of-play

Status: WISE Implementation Plan A „living“ document reflecting the discussion bewteen the main developers DG Environment, Eurostat, Joint Research Centre and the European Environment Agencyon the system development - Key principles (Chap. 1 and 2) - Project management (Chap. 2 and 3) - Functions (Chap. 3) - Architecture (Chap. 4) - Tasks to be adressed (Cha. 4 and 5) - Data to be included (Chap. 5) - Timing (Chap. 5)

Status: WISE IP - Key principles -Distributed data nodes -Use of INSPIRE guidelines -Use of industry mapping standards -Report once use many – harmonise reporting tools -Integrate SoE and compliance reporting -Users can build own services to connect their data to WISE or access WISE data

Status: Provides next steps, explanation on the model, definitions of tasks, distribution of responsibilities It is a flexible work programme for the coming years - in 3 main stages Strategic planning, does not provide all details Last version agreed in principle but needs final compilation and editing Summary WISE IP incl. resource needs will be drafted and agreed between the institutions New WISE GIS will provide multilevel GIS infrastructure WISE IP - Key elements

Status: Project management elements

Status: WISE perspective * includes all WFD compliance data - Art. 3, 5, 8, 13 and intercalibration Optional data (link to other IT system – decentralised) 20?? Extension data (Construction Phase in WISE IP) 2010 Core data WFD*, UWWD, EIONET Water 2006 (Preparation Phase) Other compliance data (nitrates, bathing, drinking, marine, flood protection), statistical data, research ICPDR OSPAR EPER PRTR others Rhine National systems ICES

Status: Entry page to the WISE public web site

Status: Access under

Status: Outlook WISE Technical Group has started operating – mandate: implementation of WISE IP – MS experts are invited to participate actively (arrangement at GIS workshop) Launch of WISE 2007 will be preceeded by data checking with MS (May-Oct 2006) –What is not available (checked) in Oct., will not be considered for public launch WISE user requirements and user needs (public site) can be addressed to EEA

Status: Joint ownership and leadership of DG ENV, EEA, ESTAT, JRC The co-operation of the Member States –EU25 and the EEA member countries –All Reporting Groups (WFD Compliance, UWWT, SOE and others) –Int. river commissions Definition of core data set against which reporting is made (decentralised set up with central reference data base) Provision of access to all information types –Numerical data (raw), ecological status (computed), thematic maps, reports, downloads, documents (e.g. methodologies) WISE IP – success factors
