1. Progress SOE –drafting group
WG D 17./
Beate Werner EEA

2. Overview
Task 1 – completed basic principles for SOE assessments and relation to WFD reporting
Task 2 – completed review of existing guidance documents
Task 3 – ongoing ....main focus in mid 2006 define the scope of SOE parameter
Task 4/5 – ongoing .....technical implementation and realisation in WISE

4. Task 1
EEA needs for data and information  indicator based assessments (Core set of indicators)
Comparable information needs for EU-level picture
Using: Monitoring-Data-Information-Assessment-Reporting (MDIAR) and DPSIR framework

5. EEA assessments Core Set of Indicators
Nutrients in inland and marine; chlorophyll
Oxygen consuming substances in rivers
Urban waste water treatment
Use of freshwater resources
Marine fish stocks, fishing fleet and aquaculture
Other indictors, see Water Indicator Report
Hazardous substances in inland and marine water
Hazardous substances in biota
Pesticides in groundwater
Water quantity

6. EEA Indicator based reporting
Indicators as building blocks for SOE-reporting
Broader integrated assessments e.g.:
Agriculture/water linkages, and effectiveness of UWWTD;  Linking water quality to pressures from agriculture and point sources
Impacts from climate change – water quantity on EU-scale

7. Task 1 Eionet-water as the starting point
Disaggregated data from monitoring sites to ensure comparability in assessments and to enable trend assessments
Eionet-water needs to adapt to networks under WFD
 subset of Art.8 reported set, coming from the same Member States networks

8. Eionet-Water
River
Stations

9. Aggregation for SOE assessments
high
second level aggregation issue related
Aggregated on WB level
EEA needs for assessments to ensure comparability in large scale, integrated SOE reports
first level aggregation time/space
Aggregated on level of monitoring station
raw data

10. Task 1
SOE reporting does not require additional monitoring but uses the the WFD monitoring network or monitoring under other directives
Paper clarifies basic principles on
Data versus information
Frequency in sampling versus frequency in reporting annuality should be kept (only) where data are monitored annualy

11. Task 2 Review of existing guidance documents
Useful exercise to support set up of 2006 monitoring networks
Doesn‘t need to be part of SOE-guidance document

12. Ongoing Task 3 3 blocks of reporting sheets: Surface water
Nutrients taking up Eionet water filling current CSI
HZ possible taking up Eionet water test indicators
Biological elements under development
Water quantity test phase to be further developed
Emissions to be further developed in line with UWWTD and E-PRTR
Morphological elements to be developed

13. 0ngoing Task 3 Ground water
Nutrients taking up Eionet water filling current CSI
HZ possible taking up Eionet water test indicators
Quantity to be developed
Emissions to be eveloped

14. 0ngoing Task 3
Transitional, coastal and marine water discussed in WFD group as covered by WFD, main development under marine strategy process
Nutrients taking up Eionet water filling current CSI
HZ possible taking up Eionet water test indicators particumar on HZ in biota
Biological elements under development - link to SEBI process
Morphological condition to be developed

15. Further process Completed papers on task 1and 2 to WG D, SCG
Finalisation of task 3 in final draft by beginning 2007
Further development of technical implementation in WISE together with realisation Art.8 reporting until mid 2007
Final guidance for WD in autumn 2007

16. Next steps on Task 3
Agreeing first phase of reporting sheets, taking up Eionet water
Joint discussion on reporting sheets in joint meeting with SOE-drafting group and Eionet-water group 13./14.N0v. 2006
