8. What should we achieve with this workshop? A clear understanding of which data streams are in place within the RSC and EU at present and how they work; An equally clear understanding of which data streams needed for D5 and D8 indicators that are not in place, and how and when MS see these data streams being established; Reflections on criteria for operational set-up in the future. Answer the question of whether this will be a useful model for future workshops? – what could be changed?
