Marine Strategy Framework Directive:technical issues for reporting under Article 11 monitoring DIKE Technical Sub-Group 4 July 2013, EEA, Copenhagen European Commission DG Environment Unit C.2 Marine Environment and Water Industry
Reporting under Art. 11 monitoring • Current status of development: • Recommendation approved by MSCG in May 2013 • Includes 10 agreed questions for reporting • Relate directly to Directive (especially Art. 11 and Annex IV) • Indicate the key questions for Art. 12 assessment by Commission • 'Response' to questions formulated as 'Summary Information' (with specified format e.g. value(s), dates, select lists) plus a text option within an agreed structure (general, programmes, sub-programmes) • This 'minimum information' was discussed and further developed by a DIKE Drafting Group on 4 June • Comments on this draft 'content' due 2 July; revised version to be released to WG DIKE (cc MSCG) on 12 July; final comments by 31 July • Develop draft schemas and database Aug-Sept
Technical issues to address • In what application does MS or RSC prepare and hold the information? • What is the process for 'reporting' the information?
Applications used to prepare/hold the information • Various options open to MS: • Web-based system (e.g. CMS) • Internal database • Excel (similar structure to Reporting Sheet) • Word (similar structure to Reporting Sheet) • Others? • Conclusion • Need for consistency in content and format (preferably also in structure – programmes/sub-programmes) – as per Reporting Sheet
Process for reporting: options MS or RSC EC/EEA Web-based application (e.g. CMS) Formal report to Commission via ReportNet: xml format 'push' system - MS (or RSC) manually exports in xml format and uploads to ReportNet OR 'pull' system - data can be automatically harvested from MS (or RSC) system (web discovery service) upon request from Commission A MS EC/EEA Internal database Formal report to Commission via ReportNet: xml format 'push' system - MS manually exports in xml format and uploads to ReportNet B
Process for reporting: options EC/EEA MS Database provided by Commission (from Atkins) Excel Word Formal report to Commission via ReportNet: xml format 'push' system - MS manually exports in xml format (Atkins tool) and uploads to ReportNet C Web form provided by Commission (from Atkins) Excel Word Formal report to Commission via ReportNet: xml format Automatic saving to xml format direct into ReportNet Manual transfer D • Possible applications: • Word • Excel • Internal database • Web-based application Paper report (if MS wish to use) Formal report to Commission via ReportNet: paper (pdf) format E Export as Word or pdf upload to ReportNet
Which options to focus on? • Preferred approaches: • Web-based national/regional systems – eventually as 'pull' system (option A) • Web-form on ReportNet (option D) or stand-alone database (option C)? • Do we expect?: • National non-web databases (option B) • Paper reports (option E) • Too many options is complex to handle – balance MS ways of working with EU tools for reporting
