2. Content review Second version of the content review document with recommendations and clarifications taken into account: – Better clarification needed on Must, Should, Could in terms of smiley criteria, DD and reporting frequency (WFD alignment) – Clarify links to which directive – Water quantity see written procedure on additional document HZ/PS - scope of list needs further development, - stick to legal requirements watch list only Could

3. Reporting process Resource issues in some countries regarding WFD.  should be handled using best synergies, e.g. on spatial data. However EEA recognises conflict of priorities. Reporting in 2015 will be a first round in new scheme allowing testing and improving. E.g webinars to organise to ongoing discuss process and problems Next reporting round starting summer 2016 should then be operational to provide input to EEA indicators used together with WFD assessment in 2017

Send it to wisesoe.helpdesk@eionet.europa.eu until 03-07, with any other generic comments. – Spatial data: same procedure as above.

9. Timing for commenting and finalising parameter lists (2) Comments on emissions and HZ: – some more clarifications needed in the documents (e.g. adding details on respective directives) revised documents (specific Annexes) available by 15.07. – comments until 31.07 All Comments send to SOE helpdesk, using subject “SOE Water Quality review”, or “SOE water emissions /HZ review” or “SOE water quantity review”.
