Slide 11

BQEs reporting for transitional and coastal waters Intercalibration for TC waters was still not finished in 2011, but is going to be finished in 2012 Few countries cooperated in 2010 data flow for TC waters; Are MS ready to report data on biological quality elements (EQRs) in 2012 for TC indicators development? Is acceptable for MS to report on: angiosperms, macroalgae, benthic invertebrates in TCW as well as fish in TW? Can additional information on typology and boundary values be requested to improve chl a indicator for TCW?

Slide 12

Environmental objectives and measures Status 2010 Status 2015 Pressures causing less than good ES/EP Measures Are the proposed measures (PoM) tackling the right pressures? What will be the status in 2015/21/27 if the PoMs are implemented? dummy
