  1. Implementing Provisions for Reporting – Resources needed for AQ reporting

  2. Resources needed for AQ reporting Service contract to provide support to the Commission services in the preparation of Implementing Provisions under a new directive on ambient air quality Questionnaire distributed to the AQ data providers in the Member States (10th August 2010) to compare the efforts used for the present reporting obligations to the implementation of the obligations according to the IPR.

  3. Questionnaire Present AQ reporting obligations: • Annual AQ report 2004/461/EC (including amendments for 4th DD) • Monthly ozone reporting • Summer ozone reporting • Exchange of Information 97/101/EC (i.e. DEM) • Information about plans and programmes (2004/224/EC)

  4. New elements of reporting • Zones and agglomerations • Provisional reporting of zoning information • Description of assessment regime • Provisional reporting of the assessment regime • Information related to attainment of environmental objectives • Aggregated valid assessment data • Description of assessment meta-data for fixed monitoring • Provisional update of assessment meta-data for near real time consistency • Description of assessment meta-data for other assessment methods • Valid primary monitoring data • Near Real Time Exchange (mandatory part) • Exceedance of information and alert thresholds • Information about air quality management • Annual update of air quality management information

  5. New reporting obligations Questions for each data set: • Is there a need for new data generation? • Is there a need for new data compilation? • Expenditure for implementation (one-time)(workdays or €) • Annual expenditure (workdays or €) • Benefits (workdays or €) • Comments

  6. Overview of replies • 13 Member states answered (7 „old“, 6 „new“) • BE, MT and PL (and possibly BG) will answer till end of October • Number of stations per MS: between 6 (LU) and ~700 (FR) • Number of zones per MS: between 2 (LV) and ~ 120 (DE)

  7. Stucture of AQ data management

  8. Present reporting obligations AQ information: between 18 days (LU) and 385 working days (DE) Reporting Plans&Programmes: between 4 days (AT) and 97 working days (RO)

  9. Present reporting obligations WorkdaysforAQ informationreportingper monitoringstation: between 0.14 (AT) and 12.4 (LV) • About 0.2 workdays/station: AT, CZ, FR, SE, UK • About 0.6 - 0.9 workdays/ station: DE, NL, SI, RO • 3 workdays/station: LU • 4 workdays/station: HU • 7 workdays/station: LT • 12 workdays/station: LV

  10. AQ data reporting Share of costs for total AQ data reporting: • Annual AQ report: between 19% (FR) and 78% (DE) • Monthly and summer ozone reporting: between 3% (LU) and 21% (LV) • EoI data: between 16% (DE) and 67% (FR) Relation of costs for Annual report and EoI data submission: Annual report ≈ 1/3 EoI data: FR Annual report ≈ 1/2 EoI data: LV, AT Annual report ≈ 3/4 EoI data: LU, NL, SI Annual report ≈ EoI data: CZ, HU, LT, SE Annual report ≈ 1.5 EoI data: UK Annual report ≈ 3 EoI data: RO Annual report ≈ 5 EoI data: DE

  13. New reporting obligations – overview of replies

  14. Estimated costs for the implementation of the new reporting obligations • Total costs for the implementation (new software, additional information to be reported) vary between 37 workdays (LT) and 1005 workdays (DE) • The ratio of implementation costs vs. Present annual reporting costs varies between 0.7 (FR) and 5.2 (SI)

  15. Estimated costs for the implementation of the new reporting obligations • Largest single positions: • Description of assessment meta-data for fixed monitoring: DE, 2 years • Aggregated valid assessment data: DE, 1 year • Information about air quality management: DE, 130 days • Description of assessment regime: DE, 85 days • Largest single positions (per monitoring station): • Description of assessment meta-data for other assessment methods: LT, 30 days (1.7 days/station) • Near-real-time exchange: NL, 60 days (1 day/station) • Information about air quality management: NL, 60 days (1 day/station) • Description of assessment meta-data for fixed monitoring: NL, 40 days (0.7 days/station)

  16. Estimated annual costs for the new reporting obligations • Total annual costs for the new reporting obligations vary between 18 workdays (AT) and 434 workdays (DE) • The annual costs for the new reporting obligations per monitoring station vary between 0.6 workdays/station (AT) and 1.0 workday/station (NL)

  17. Estimated annual costs for the new reporting obligations • Largest single positions: • Aggregated valid assessment data: DE, 55 days • Description of assessment regime: DE, 50 days • Provisional reporting of the assessment regime: DE, 50 days • Valid primary monitoring data: DE, 50 days • Largest single positions (per monitoring station): • Valid primary monitoring data: LT: 30 days (1.7 days/station) • Assessment meta-data for other assessment methods: LT: 30 days (1.7 days/station) • Information of attainment of environmental objectives: LT: 25 (1.4 days/station) • Air quality management information: HU, 40 days (1.3 days/station)

  20. Conclusions • Estimates on thecostsfortheimplementationas well astheannualexpenditureforthenewreportingobligationsareveryvague, untilthecontentsofthe IPR arefinallydecided, anduntilclearinformation on thedata model andtheIT-technicalsolutionsfordatatransferandtheuser-interfacesarefairly well known. • Much workisdonemanuallyatpresent, especially in somesmallereastern MSs. • The new IPR mayreducetheannualeffortsforreportingbyupto 50% - but some MSs estimatethe same workloadaspresently.
