5. Difficulties encountered: * Finding apropriate Parameters for
Hazardous substances
in sediment and biota
* ½ of detection
(quantification) limit
Compatibility with EEA
** Transitional period beetwin old monitoring
projects and new MSFD monitoring

6. EMODnet chemistry can collect all missing
Proposal:
EMODnet chemistry can collect all missing
parameters from partners, harmonize them, and
then submit it to BODC parameters list.
Othervise there be a many "variations" of the
same parameter.
Also EMODnet should be compatibile with EIONET
data dictionary (and try to influence into it).
