1. Progress SOE Reporting NRC/NFP water workshop – 2nd October and SOE-DG/NRC meeting – 3rd October
Beate Werner; EEA

2. NRC/NFP water workshop – 2nd October
Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) and WISE development
More clarity about context of development
WISE as pilot for SEIS
mid term development towards distributed systems, implemented in focused projects with voluntary countries
Well developed national systems
Detailed information at national level with transparent data handling; e.g. for transboundary cooperation

3. WISE in the context of SEIS
content
Integrated assessments  information from WISE-SOE, WFD, other directives and other environmental areas + spatial and statistical information
streamlining
Reduced reporting burden  WFD, SOE and data from other water related directives - parameter alignment
- all flows through REPORTNET under WISE
access
distributed system
- output side  provide shared water services for public; link to national web-sites
- input side  leave data at source

4. SOE-DG/NRC meeting – 3rd October
Discussion of ‘remaining‘ reporting sheets
Emission-loads
Water quantity
Biological elements
SOE site selection based on Art. 8 submission
2007 SOE ‘test data exchange‘
Achievements for current mandate
Further work

5. 2007 SOE-data in WISE Site selection
Identification of old SOE sites (Eionet) in Art. 8 set  confirmation needed
Marking of new sites out of Art. 8
Data reporting
EEA prepared Data Dictionary
To be used like old Eionet procedure

6. Mandate and Tasks Overview
Task 1 basic principles for SOE assessments and relation to WFD reporting
Task 2 – review of existing guidance documents
Task 3 – define the scope of SOE parameter
Task 4/5 – technical implementation and realisation in WISE

10. task 4/5 – paper
Main steps of the reporting in towards a future SOE-reporting for water
Quality assurance and metadata use, requirements for consistent datasets in a shared information system
Needs for a conceptual approach for the SOE reporting under WISE in a distributed System (SEIS and INSPIRE compatible) – streamlining and access
Future improvement of EU-level assessments

11. Further steps in 2008
Further WISE development (architecture/GIS) in WISE technical group
emissions and water quantiy
Preparation test data flow (DD)
Expert meetings
biological elements
discussion with Ecostat
transitional/coastal
together with marine - Discussion with MSFD – experts
Preparation test data flow (DD) (2009)

12. Further integration of SOE - work
Need for further cooperation between WFD implementation and EEA – Eionet
More thematic focus with development of coherent data collection on
emissions and water quantity with respective experts
Transitional/coastal and marine with MSFD network
Biological elements with ECOSTAT
 Activity under new WG D mandate

13. tasks for further SOE-work
SOE-reporting for emissions-loads to water - coherent reporting streamlined with UWWTD, IPPC and Marine conventions
SOE reporting related to water scarcity (e.g. water quantity; water abstraction; saltwater intrusion; etc. ) in coop. with ESTAT JQ, hydrological/services and Water Scarcity & Drought activity.
SOE-reporting for biological elements, co-op. with ECOSTAT
Scope possible SOE-information on hydro-morphological elements
coherent SOE reporting on the status and trends of transitional, coastal and marine waters (jointly with respective groups under the marine strategy framework directive (MSFD))
first scope for collection of SOE-information on measures and policy actions to assess policy effectiveness.
