Update of CFP assessments (Indicators and ART8_GES schemas)
OSPAR and HELCOM indicators (Indicators schema)
HELCOM indicators (ART8_GES schema)

5. Reporting tools – planned updates (April-June)
Schema ART8_GES (TO BE AGREED BY WG DIKE):
In the training, suggestion to change codes of CriteriaStatus and ElementStatus: currently the codes to be reported under these two fields are “Good”, “Not Good” and “Unknown”. It was asked to rename them, since this may be misunderstood as “In GES”, “Not in GES”. Therefore, the proposal is to change them to “Threshold values achieved”, “Threshold values not achieved”.
Webforms
Smart drop-down lists developed for Element-ElementCode-ElementCodeSource with JRC lists (species, habitats and contaminants)
Update of MRUs provided by Member States after 31 January
