8. Data provided: some issues (i)
Data delivered for near 100% of the species and habitats concerned
Data relatively in line with the technical specifications but requiring improvement, correction or just an explanation
2nd deliveries are fundamental
As anticipated, aggregation of some data will be difficult (population, structure and functions,…)

9. Data provided: some issues (ii)
Further harmonisation need in future
Substantial use of ‘expert opinion’ in providing data/information
System works (IT-tool, QA/QC procedures) but will need adaptation and improvement for the next report
ETC has to deal with (many) unexpected issues and find solutions: e.g. lack of or insufficient quality GIS European data (country borders, cost line)

10. QA/QC reports available

11. This reporting:
A substantial effort from MS in mobilising expertise and data
A quantum leap: from process to outcome & results
Milestone to identify gaps in knowledge = additional efforts in monitoring
Data and information – even if not perfect – opens the way to (finally) start understanding what is going well / so-so / wrong and why
