6. Public Viewer disclaimer (on Circa)
List of MS included
Absence of sensitive species – if necessary contact Member States for more info.
Technical information and limitations of the presented data:
Generalization to scale 1:100000
Reprojected to WGS84
possible shift with background when zooming in close
Date of reception of national datasets
Date of production of EU-wide dataset
 The more up-to-date the data, the better

7. Sensitive species management
Problem: how to update list of species?
Last year: standard Excel template
Now: Word, Excel, txt file, paper, etc.
Not always sent through Perm Rep: mail, exchange, etc.
 not manageable and not reliable in the long run
Possible solutions:
create an online interface where national data coordinators can update their own list of sensitive species (edit, add and delete)
… ?

8. Acceptance/Refusal policy
Data can not be managed differently for each Member State:
27 Member States, 3 products = 27 * 27 * 27 = different combination of rules
impossible to manage and keep track efficiently over time
Simple alternative: either in or out (revision possible every six months)
