5. Progress up to day
The existing Guidance No. 29 and the existing electronic schemas will be updated in accordance with the lessons learned from the 1st cycle of implementation of the FD and its reporting, building on the principles of the 2nd cycle reporting for the WFD, as well as comments/suggestions from MS and the Commission for improvements.
The Commission underlined and strongly suggested that the reporting of complete sets of information in the 2nd cycle will ensure consistency and integrity of the data provided. Attempting piecemeal updates in the 2nd cycle would only lead to difficulties in data integration and the necessity to go back to the MS asking for clarifications or additional information.
A first draft of updated electronic schemas to be developed by the middle of May, clearly highlighting proposed changes – done for PFRA, APSFR and FHRM (FRMP to be provided soon)
