2013- DRAFT Strategy for implementation of MSFD Article 19(3)
2014- Eutrophication (D5) and Hazardous substance indicators (D8) and data flows
2017- New terms of reference: roadmap developped accordingly

4. MSFD CIS WP 2016-2019: terms of reference
Composition/rules :
The TG is a sub-group of the MSCG, in line with Article 7 of the MSCG rules of procedure. The TG is guided by the MSCG and reports on a regular basis to WG DIKE. The same rules of procedure as for MSCG apply
Chaired by the European Environment Agency and France
Participation:
Member States (due to the technical nature of the TG, the representatives can differ from those attending WG DIKE)
Stakeholder organisations members of the MSFD CIS: participation from RSCs is particularly encouraged
additional experts may be involved for specific purposes: the selection of experts will be decided in consultation with the TG chairs and, when appropriate, with MS

5. TG DATA within CIS MSFD groups

6. MSFD CIS WP 2016-2019: terms of reference (extract- priority)
The work of TG Data will lead to recommendations on issues requiring specific technical expertise related to:
a) Accessing data and information according to MSFD Art. 19(3), in the context of WISE-Marine and associated to INSPIRE, EMODnet, and other relevant processes and projects;
b) Geographic handling and visualisation of reported information;
c) Technical proposals to WISE-Marine, including linkages to other reporting requirements (e.g. for Regional Sea Conventions, Water Framework Directive and the Nature Directives), and preparation of dissemination products, including mapped information;

7. Developing a roadmap for TG-DATA: lines of work
Existing dataflows, actors & links: mapping ongoing initiatives, stakeholders and data that are collected and used within MSFD implementation
Common vocabularies: agreement on vocabularies to use for MSFD data
Common standards and formats: how to accommodate common standards for MSFD needs (e.g. INSPIRE, EMODnet/SeaDataNet)
Grids: use of grids for assessments and links to the MRUs
MRUs: definition of subdivisions within the subregions
WISE-marine: access and visualisation of reported data, including indicators
Implementation of Art.19.3: technical solutions that can be addressed
Link with MSP Directive: how MSFD data can be used for MSP Directive implementation
