Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012Author: Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM
Transitional waters•220 substances were recorded•LV for 30 substances could be compared•For 190 substances only one MS reported limit values
Coastal waters•202 substances were recorded. •LV for 23 substances could be compared•For 179 substances only one MS reported limit values
For transitional and coastal waters the relative difference between Min and Max LV in (%) is from 0 – 500000% (i.e.5000x)

EU overview of Ecological status% of WBs in less than good status
Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012Author: Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM
•The worst status for TC waters is in the Baltic sea and North-east Atlantic (Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium);
• Romania and Bulgaria in the Black sea also reported large share of waters in less than good status
•Reporting is still not complete

EU overview of point and diffuse pollution pressures
Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012Author: Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM
Member states which have reported pressures, but where certain RBDs are marked as “no data reported” should indicate
•whether this particular pressure has not been reported in this RBD or
•whether no water bodies in this RBD are affected by this particular pressure.
15
EU overview of HyMo pressures

Member states which have reported pressures, but where certain RBDs are marked as “no data reported” should indicate •whether this particular pressure has not been reported in this RBD or•whether no water bodies in this RBD are affected by this particular pressure.

Case studies
• Link catchment to
transitional and coastal waters– Rein– Danube– Po catchment - Northern Adriatic– Baltic sea
• Specific cases– Long term trends in status of TC
waters in North Spain (Basque) – Lagoons ?– Other ideas, contributions from MS?

Key messages
•Data from 99 RBDs, 3695 WBs were reported; 76% classified, 43% H/G confidence;
Results:• Transitional waters are in worst status than CW (~69% less than good),
main pressures point and diffuse sources and HyMo, causing altered habitats, organic and nutrient enrichment;
• ~48% of coastal waters is not reaching good status, main pressures point and diffuse sources, nutrient enrichment reported in more than 42%;
•All elements were not used for classification equally, many WBs were classified based on expert judgement; •IC for BQEs was not finished at the time of classification, low level of comparability expected also for nutrients, HyMo and NP-pollutants;•Status, impacts and pressures were not reported consistently by some countries;
