MSFD key interactions (2014/2015) Sept ’14 EMODnet – MSFD interaction meeting DGMARE, DGENV, EEA, 2 member states, OSPAR and HELCOM, EMODnet Bio, Chem and Sec Feb ’15 EMODnet – MSFD interaction meeting Appropriate information in the metadata to identify chemistry data suitable for inclusion in MSFD reporting based on QA and QC procedures

RSC Indicators WGDIKE paper DIKE_

RSC Indicators as of June regional indicators -28 equate to D5 Eutrophication -47 equate to D8ish Contaminants -Operational status unknown for most -Most are under development, developed but not adopted or no information

Indicators elements HELCOM and OSPAR indicator specifications should identify the appropriate metadata needed
