1 Harmonisation Ecostat 2014
Paul Logan UK CEN Convenor

2 Updated Recommendations for Annex 1.3.6
Formal consultation on this draft Directive will be possible from June following the publication of some important standards (EN 13946, EN 14184, and EN 14407). Meanwhile, minor changes have been introduced to the document: 1. Correction of some errors in titles, addition of reference dates; 2. Deletion of EN ISO: 1995 (macroinvertebrates) which is no longer published; 3. Replacement of two standards no longer published that have been replaced by new ones with a quite similar scope: 3.1. ISO 10260:1992 Water quality - Measurement of biochemical parameters - Spectrometric determination of the chlorophyll-a concentration replaced by EN 16161:2012 Water quality - Guidance on the use of in vivo absorption techniques for the estimation of chlorophyll-a concentration in marine and fresh water samples and 3.2. ISO :1995: Water quality - Sampling - Part 3: Guidance on the preservation and handling of samples previously mentioned in the WFD Annex for macroinvertebrates; was updated to EN ISO :2012 which covers sampling in general both chemical and biological.

3 Amended text based on Ecostat comments on Hydromorphology
Standards for monitoring of quality elements Methods used for the monitoring of type parameters shall conform to the international standards listed below in so far as the guidance in the standard covers monitoring, or such other national or international standards which will ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality and comparability Actions 10,11,12 and 23 from previous minutes: No comments received from Spain or Italy.
