  1. Next steps on the review Expert Group Priority Substances Brussels, 21-22 September 2009 Jorge Rodriguez Romero WFD Team Coordinator DG Environment, European Commission

  2. Next steps (I) • Modelling: 71 substances ranking high • (Some additional may come in by the vPvB analysis) • Application of the TRA tool to 71 substances identified in modelling • Added to the list of candidate result in 323 substances • Application of the delisting criteria for pesticides/biocides will result in applying a 0 ranking to 162 substances (thus 161 left for ranking) • (Following yesterday discussion, information will be made available on peak exposures from the database for the EG to consider. If information shows that there may be a risk that has been overlooked, the ranking will be revised accordingly) • Application of the representativeness criteria in INERIS report results in 0 ranking for 10 substances (only those showing no risk from modelling) thus 151 substances left for ranking

  3. Next steps (II) • Review of the RARs for the remaining substances (49 ESR,16 pesticides and 2 biocides) to extract PEC and PNEC • and eventually identify local risk only, which will then result in 0 ranking • Translation of the information to the candidate list: • PEC and PNEC from RARs (ESR, pesticides, biocides) • PEC and PNEC used in monitoring approach • PEC and PNEC used in modelling approach • Ranking of monitoring and modelling approach for all ranked substances (not only for those ranking high) • Identification of 30-50 substances by selecting the 10-15 first substances ranking highest from the various sources (RARs, monitoring and modelling) plus consideration of other sources (PBTs, SVHC, POPs, Annex III)

  4. Next steps (III) • Basic information on reliability of the various PEC and PNECs will be made available for the EG • After WG E in October there will be 6 weeks to propose additions to the list of candidate substances, by providing the agreed datasheet with the available information • Up to this point to be completed at the latest by the end of this year • Identification of leads for the preparation of dossiers for those 30-50 substances • In order to mobilise Member States resources for the preparation of dossiers, support to will be seek from WG and Water Directors • Next EG meeting January 2010 in Brussels
