WG E 24./25.6.2010 4 Scope of the WORK-shop: • Be a platform for informal information exchange among Member States • Identification and discussion of relevant questions among Member States • Identification of priority needs for further actions

WG E 24./25.6.2010 5 Workshop preparation: • Questionnaire distributed to MS via WG E and Chemical Monitoring group (14.1.2010)  Answers received from 27 countries (EU 27 + Norway, Switzerland have been contacted)

WG E 24./25.6.2010 9 First key messages (1): • Exchange/consultation of concentration data at EU level desired • Need for implementation of a common data format to facilitate collection and exploitation of monitoring data at EU level • „Common DG ENV - EEA data collection template“ is already available and was used during DG ENV EU-wide data collection • Common quality criteria for ecotox data assessment + ecotox data exchange needed • Wish to consult among MS on selected RBSPs + EQS lists: set up of a platform on CIRCA for info exchange on national EQS

WG E 24./25.6.2010 10 First key messages (2): • Potential for collaboration on investigative monitoring at EU level • Need to exchange info about and to improve analytical screening methods • Specific approaches for the marine environment needed
