3. Pre-Infringement procedures
EU Pilots have been started for 11 MS for reporting periods
EU Pilots have been started only for completely missing reports. Certain cases of unacceptable format or other problems are being dealt with bilaterally.
Very few reports have been submitted for the last reporting period. EU Pilots will be started after limited delay. Please inform the Commission of any problem.

4. General clarifications
Do not submit reports overlapping chronologically.
Please submit:
One report every year for BD
One report every two years for HD
Use separate Reportnet folders for each report
The title of the report and of the folder should indicate the year of application of the derogation, not the year of delivery of the report
Reportnet: When a report is complete change the status to "Complete", do not let "Task(s) waiting to be assigned: Redeliver or finish"
Reports must be uploaded on the Reportnet website, not sent by or in paper format.
If there are no derogations at all for a specific reporting period, please ask the national data coordinator to send an clearly stating so to Stefan Leiner and in CC to Stefano Panozzo.

5. Status of Habides

The EC services are available for support
No new versions of Habides have been created recently. Version 2.10 is still valid.
The Commission is studying the possibility of improving the reporting tool.
