Publishing reporting data under INSPIRE and reporting under the environmental acquis is double work. COM should avoid this.
Clean up / improve list (doubles, terminology, clarify)
Further detail the list as deep as possible for better implementation guidance.
Support to tackle this in the context of Eionet.
Some comments have already been addressed in the current version of the list.

3. Objectives
communicate ENV information priorities and expectations to MS;
clearly identify the spatial data sets relevant for environmental reporting;
provide guidance on consistent mapping of reporting obligations and supporting data to INSPIRE spatial objects for the development of pan-European data sets;
identify reporting redundancies and explore opportunities for streamlining;
improve the timeliness and the quality of reported data
to provide a governance instrument to:
incrementally build comparable INSPIRE maturity across MS for all INSPIRE components (metadata, services, interoperability, data sharing) based on a common setting,
plan tangible and usable INSPIRE deliverables for eReporting,
monitor progress on INSPIRE implementation in general and for the reporting use case in specific
promote the reuse of the INSPIRE infrastructure for reporting purposes.

6. 3-step action plan as follow-up
Next Steps
3-step action plan as follow-up
MS action: Implement the priority data sets (as-is) following the priority roadmap
Policy Unit action: Asses existing reporting obligations, optimize where possible.
Analyse ‘As Is’ (incl. information requirements for reporting), assess INSPIRE maturity, make recommendations
Implement recommendations in reporting flow
MS implementation of updated reporting flow
EEA action: support eReporting flow and make EU-level data interoperable and accessible for supported data flows (CDF)
