1. List of contaminants for 2018 MSFD reporting
DIKE meeting
Victoria Tornero
EC JRC

2. MSFD D8- Contaminants
Publication of report “Potential marine contaminants”
2700 substances, reference list for improved harmonization
Collection of substances for 2018 MSFD reporting through the MSFD Expert Network on Contaminants
Contributions received from 14 Member States:
Bulgaria
Ireland
Croatia
Italy
Estonia
Netherlands
Finland
Poland
France
Romania
Germany
Spain
Greece
United Kingdom

3. OUTCOMES
Draft list of contaminants for D8 reporting: ~ 400 substances or groups of substances
Variability in the substances reported by 14 MS, also within the same marine region
More contaminants expected (9 MS not participating in this exercise)
Differences in the substances within the same group:
This list serves as a basis for discussions on consistent grouping/combining of substances at EU level
Consider also substance groups used by RSC
Similar exercise suggested for D8C2 (compilation of reported biological effect methods)
