  2. OBJECTIVES • feasibility of carrying out the intercalibration exercise on fish for rivers • launching a first pilot-exercise before June 2007

  3. 1st part: Presentation Presentation of Intercalibration Exercices within the WFD - general objectives - key points of the process - review of progress and time table Review of national methods and their suitability with the WFD requirements (Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium Flanders and Wallonia, Netherlands) FAME method presentation (European fish index) Summary of the work carried out for benthic macro-invertebrates

  4. 2nd part: Discussion/Planning Constitution of National datasets (generally existing) Definition of reference conditions Derived from REFCOND, The same as those used for macro-invertebrates but with additional criterias (connectivity) Comparison between national classifications: two approaches Directly 2 by 2 mainly at a regional scale (alpine rivers, mediterranean…) Using common metrics (EFI metrics as a first list of candidate metrics) Current organisation by GIGs NOT NECESSARY (only one group) Considering intercalibration river types Neither mandatory nor relevant to respect the common intercalibration river types. Nevertheless, the river types variability should be examined. Needs further discussions.

  5. Work programme Group Leader: France Cemagref / CSP Steering commitee ~ 5 persons coordinator regional approaches JRC Contact points Didier Pont didier.pont@aix.cemagref.fr Wouter Van de Bund wouter-van-de-bund@jrc.it

  6. Main points • Fish intercalibration is starting now – expected results June 2007 (pilot) • Common process (not divided in GIGs) • MS are asked to confirm participation in fish intercalibration by 31 July
