Beate Werner EEA

2. Progress on SOE guidance
2005
2006
2007
Tasks/Sections in guidance
1) common understanding SOE-reporting streams in relation to other and compliance reporting required to contribute to SOE-assessments
2) Review of existing guidance
3) Scope of SOE-parameters – development of SOE reporting sheets
4) Details on data processing and handling following task 3
5) Requirements and recommendation for technical integration; review of development

3. Based on same monitoring networks/ information in Member States
EEA

Assessment, basis for infringement procedures
Policy analysis

4. From Eionet – water to WISE-SOE
Integration between Art. 3,5,8 and SOE-data flow with streamlined reporting into WISE
Selecting good monitoring sites for the Eionet-water/SOE-reporting
Representative for water body/group of WB
Allowing type specific assessments
Keep time series from the Eionet water data set as far as possible

5. endorsement of first set of SOE parameter
largely according to existing Eionet water data flow

6. How does Eionet water data change?
Eionet-water sites t.b. defined
monitoring site
Reference to geography; catchment, WB (Art. 3+5)
Reported once under Art. 8
due 22. March 2007
Parameter, in FW; GW and TCM:
Nutrients, Chl a, HZ, biolog. Elements, quantity, emissions, marine, HZ
measured regularly
(monthly, annually, biannually…)

7. Part 2 - General Aspects Options for data treatment before reporting
Annual + seasonal aggregation
Aggregation from sub-sites
Criteria for selection of monitoring sites
Sites from all categories
Representing all statuses
Representative for all WB-types, sizes and types of pressure

8. Part 3 - reorting sheets - structure
What should be reported
Why it is needed
“Look out!” – boxes for specific points
Common structure on data aspects of sheets
Determinands
Quality of data
Treatment of data before reporting
Information on sites used for SOE reporting

9. List of reporting sheets for agreement on test phase in 2007
1 – Nutrients in Rivers and Lakes (Eionet-water)
2 – HZ in Rivers and Lakes (Eionet-water)
8 – Nutrients in Groundwater (Eionet-water)
9 – HZ in Groundwater (Eionet-water)
14 – site characteristic and proxy pressure info.
15 - geographic information (not to be reported when already provided under Art 3,5,8
16 – data quality (not to be reported when already provided)

10. Next steps – towards WISE
Agreeing first phase of reporting sheets, also with EEA-NFPs, continuing Eionet water reporting
Further development of technical implementation in WISE together with realisation Art.8 reporting in 2007 for new regular reporting in 2008
Select new Eionet-water/SoE-stations
First reporting in 2007 with the first set of reporting sheets, using selected stations and station information provided under Art. 8
Contact point again to be clarified between WFD and EIONET communities

12. Next steps – additional parameter
Development of further parameter;
biological data (using Ecostat results)
Quantity (incl. GW) together with ESTAT
Emissions (together with ESTAT)
TCM (together with EMMA)
Hydromorphology tbd only after first experiences with other parameter
