• New: Information on the role of Natura 2000 coverage and conservation measures
• Use of qualifiers for conservation status (U1+, U2- etc)
• Threats and pressures must be ranked & the list has been revised
• Standardisation of maps (incl. range tool)
• Trend divided into short term (obligatory) and long term trend (optional for this round)
• Steps in direction of harmonising population units•…
Improvements in the reporting format Art. 17 HDon species and habitat types (Annex B & D)

Technical Implementation
• Reporting Tool (not on-line)– Development on-going between the EEA and ETC/BD– National reports are due to June 2013 – Tool to be ready for MS use by 1st March 2012 (& workshop)– Testing envisaged for last quarter 2011
• Range tool– To be available in January 2012

Art. 12 Birds Directive1) Reporting format hamonised with Art 17 Reporting, but taking into account some specific requirements of Birds Directive
2) Timing in line now with Art 17 Reporting HD (every 6 year) covering same time period, but report 6 month later
3) Data delivery by Member States (incl. data on threats and pressures)
4) The technical implementation: same technical solution for Art 17 and Art 12 reporting
5) Assessment conservation status will be done by EC contractor (different to Art. 17 Reporting)

17: Bio-geographical Regions:
Bio-geographicalRegion is the only single spatial object type included in the application schema and represents any typeof bio-geographical region. (Each instance of an object is described by a classification scheme and value)
The three major ones are:
1. Natura 2000 and Emerald Bio-geographical Regions2. Natural Vegetation (PNV)3. Environmental Stratification

European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity http://biodiversity.eionet.eu.int/
Theme 18: Habitats and Biotopes• for practical reasons, biotopes and habitats will be dealt with similarly
• One classification system serves as “primus inter pares”
• All habitat features will have – an encodng from the EUNIS habitat classification– or encoding from “European Union habitats” list
• optional an additional from registered local/nation. coding list
• Species and Vegetation type can be used to further characterise the habitat

Theme 19: Species Distribution
• Coverage representation should be applied to present species distribution data (aggregated over grid cells, administrative areas, or areas of any other analytical unit.)
• Interoperability problems related to the naming and classifications of speciesReference to a given species via an ID coming from a widely known reference list. (EU-Nomen, EUNIS, Natura 2000)
• Possible to link from SpeciesDistributionUnit to Environmental Monitoring Facilities
