Timetable • Concept development • Brainstorming February 2005 • Review analytical approaches March-May 2005 • EECCA consultations May-June 2005 • Experts consultations June-October 2005 • Meeting FOs/COs September 2005 • Information collection • Support to EECCA countries Oct 2005-June 2006 • Outlines of dedicated inputs February 2006 • Dedicated inputs June 2006 • AnalysisApril-Sept 2006 • Writing and reviewOct 2006-March 2007 • Production, launch, disseminationApril-Dec 2007
The potential role of the WGEMA and its members • EEA Belgrade Assessment • sharing data on decoupling indicators, other indicators of common interest • As a group • Contribute input on Obj 6.1 Information Management (timing is important!) • Individual EECCA members • Help to select and feed response indicators • Dissemination of report • Any other?
