1. Habides: current status
Habitats Committee, October 2009

2. Reminder: what is Habides?
A standardised derogation reporting format for all Member States (XML Schema)
A portable tool for decentralised reporting
for regional derogation officers on the field
developed in MS Access
An online based system for officially submitting data (Reportnet CDR)
for nationally designated data coordinators
web-forms to create and edit derogations
uploading data received from regional derogation officers

3. Habides timeline & milestones

4. Habides data flow 1
Decentralised derogation reporters  National data coordinator  Reportnet CDR + letter from Perm Rep

5. Alternative data flow
Data is managed on a national level (no use of the Portable Tool) and exported to the Habides XML Format and uploaded on Reportnet CDR

6. Possible improvements
Improvements based on user feedback from Member States
improvements on user interfaces
completing items on lists for “Permitted Methods”, “Permitted Activities” and “Reasons for Granting Licence”
feedback expected by end January 2010
A platform-independent implementation of the Portable Tool (Java).
MS Access problems: incompatibility between different versions; user settings can affect behaviour

7. Thanks for listening!
