4. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment WISE All main tools to be both communicated to the Commission and made public –WISE portal ideal portal for both Use of WISE for streamlining of reporting –and avoid unnecessary duplication of work –principle endorsed by Water Directors WISE – pilot for moving towards a decentralised distributed system Possibility to define specific public access formats and more restricted expert views Respect WISE Technical formats, and thereby comply with INSPIRE, SEIS as distributed node systems

5. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Key issues for concept paper INPUT Analysis of requirement of Directive –define content of the reporting Development of reporting sheets – –Define formats of reporting Information technology issues Types of information –Geo referenced information –Textual information Scales and level of detail Define the role of decentralised system – detailed flood maps ?

6. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Key issues for concept paper OUTPUT Define scenarios for use Define public user views –visualisation of data Consider public access rights Define expert views Define COM compliance views Define the role of decentralised system –What is displayed at EU level – when to “zoom in to” national informaion

7. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Key issues for concept paper Technical formats for transmission of data and cartographic information –Transfer from MS to WISE - push/pull –Comparability between Member States in shared RBD/UoM Which existing EU wide information layers are available or could usefully be developed –CORINE, population statistics, past floods, GEMS, EPER – appropriate level of detail? –Topography - availability of DEM? –Which role for EFAS and other forecasting tools

8. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Inter-linkages other EU legislation Civil protection –Multi hazard disaster prevention Climate change adaptation and land use planning Flood “core legislation” : –WFD –Seveso, EIA, SEA –Critical infrastructure INSPIRE, SEIS

15. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Reporting requirements of the Directive

16. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Reports and notifications required by the Directive Article 3.b : competent authorities and units of management Article 15 : reporting of main tools (articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 13) : 3 months after deadlines in respective article Article 10 : making tools available to the public Article 11 : reporting format Article 16 : commission report Article 17 : transposition Annex : content of the FRMP

17. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Public availability – art 10 Main tools to be made available to the public : –Preliminary Flood Risk assessment –Flood hazard and risk maps –Flood risk management plans In accordance with Community legislation (such as Aarhus legislation) which includes making available any background documents No restrictions > all information communicated to the Commission also to be public

18. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Reporting formats – art 11 When ? Two years prior to the deadlines : –PFRA deadline 22.12.2011 -> 22.12.2009 –Maps deadline 22.12.2013 -> 22.12.2011 –FRMP deadline 22.12.2013 -> 22.12.2013 May be adopted by the Commission, if so by Comitology (procedure without EP scrutiny) What ?Technical formats for the purpose of processing and transmission of data to the Commission, including statistical and cartographic data. How ? Existing standards to be taken into account as well as formats developed under relevant Community acts.

19. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Competent authorities & Units of management (Art 3) Principle of reporting : Notification/reporting required IF other UoM or CA are used. The coordination and responsibilities of all actors at all levels involved in flood risk management need to be transparent, even if main CA is the same. Reporting formats of WFD (Article 3) to be used. Annex I, Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) Competent Authorities: –(i) name and address of the competent authority * –(iii) Legal status of authority –(iv) Responsibilities –(v) Membership, including information on coordination and institutional relationships –(vi) international relationships Units of management (for individual river basins and coastal areas): –(ii) geographical coverage of the unit of management (other than the WFD river basin district)

20. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment – art. 4 & 5 Article 4 : basis for the assessment Article 5 : principles of assessment of potential significant risk Principles for reporting : –Scale – all territory, all types of floods –Maps for all of the RBD/UoM – basis for assessment + result –Description of past floods and damage (textual and maps) –Textual description of methodology and criteria used for the assessment, including how the significant of the flood risk has been assessed –Textual description of the results –“Negative reporting” with more detailed information for areas deselected for further mapping and planning –New reporting formats to be developed

21. Maria Brättemark, European Commission, DG ENV, Unit D2 - Protection of water and the marine environment Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment – maps -Maps of the RBD at the appropriate scale, including borders of river basins, sub basins and where existing, coastal areas, showing topography and land use. -Maps of past flood and (potential future) damage. -Issues to be assessed for possible contribution to potential adverse consequences of future floods for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity : –Topography position of water courses and their general hydrological and geo-morphological characteristics, including flood plains as natural retention areas (Verbal and maps) –Effectiveness of existing man-made flood defence infrastructures –Position of populated areas –Areas of economic activity –Long term developments, including impacts of climate change on the occurrence of floods
