  1. Working Group 2A ECOSTATIntercalibration process - state of play Wouter van de Bund & Anna-Stiina HeiskanenJoint Research CentreInstitute for Environment and SustainabilityInland and Marine Waters Unit

  2. Intercalibration register State of play Overview of sites Intercalibration sites and class boundaries Guidance for the intercalibration process Final draft guidance document Process and timetable Issues

  3. Intercalibration register

  4. Deadline for site submission 21 September 2004  Final draft of the intercalibration register Presented and discussed in WFD Committee (29 October)  Minor adjustments requested by Member States Final site lists included in draft Commission Decision on the Intercalibration Register (Annex A1)  Commission interservice consultation  Committee voting possibly in February 2005 IC register – state of play

  5. Rivers Lakes Coastal Transitional Intercalibration register: 1500 sites

  6. NE Atlantic GIG Black Sea GIG Baltic GIG Mediterranean GIG 190 Coastal, 42 Transitional

  7. 25 Member States, Norway, Romania, Bulgaria  Intercalibration site submission scoreboard…

  8. Intercalibration sites represent Member State’s view on high-good and good-moderate class boundaries Harmonised boundaries should be the outcome of the IC exercise There may be a need to revise register to represent harmonised boundaries Intercalibration sites and class boundaries…

  9. Table of contents 1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT 2. KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INTERCALIBRATION PROCESS 3. PROCESS OPTIONS 4. CONTENTS OF THE FINAL INTERCALIBRATION REPORT 5. ORGANISATION OF THE WORK AND TIMETABLES ANNEX I. FRAMEWORK FOR DERIVING CLASS BOUNDARY VALUES ANNEX II: LIST OF GIGs ANNEX III: EXAMPLE OF A HYBRID INTERCALIBRATION OPTION

  10. 1 high good OK moderate poor bad Restoration needed 0 KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INTERCALIBRATION PROCESS (1) • Setting of good status class boundaries: • Consistent with WFD definitions • Comparable between all 25 Member States EQR

  11. Intercalibration requires that all Member States will have developed national WFD assessment methods in time (2005-6) IC undertaken within Geographical Intercalibration Groups of countries (GIGs) IC limited to selected common types, pressures and quality elements KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INTERCALIBRATION PROCESS (2)

  12. IC guidance identifies three alternative options for intercalibration, depending on: State of development of classification methods Diversity of approaches between countries Data availability All options include: application of an agreed procedure for establishing reference conditions and setting class boundaries (Annex I) Identification of intercalibration sites representing the class boundaries PROCESS OPTIONS FOR INTERCALIBRATION

  13. Establish data set illustrating RC and degradation across a pressure gradient Criteria for HG and GM class boundaries Good status class boundary values consistent with WFD definitions Apply criteria to data set and establish boundary EQRvalues ANNEX I. BOUNDARY SETTING PROCEDURE Agree on reference conditions RTD-projects, national or joint data sets Explicit descriptions of how class boundaries are set

  14. Option 1: Common WFD assessment method

  15. Option 2: Common boundary setting metric

  16. Option 3: No common metric

  18. Oct 2005 Feb 2006 June 2006 Draft 1 Draft2 Final (outline) Oct 2004 IC process guidance Intercalibration Report General timetable for the intercalibration process

  19. General timetable for the intercalibration process

  20. Intercalibration network established according to WFD timetable possible need for revision to take into account the outcome of the IC exercise Intercalibration process has started in groups of MS based on IC process guidance Intercalibration is resource-intensive Resources need to be provided by Member States Concluding remarks
