  1. Biologicaldatafor TC waters • WFD monitoring programs – development of biological indicators • Previously used indicators only indicatedpressures • Biological indicators provide info on state and impacts of the pressures • Comparability - WFD Intercalibration,incluides hundreds of experts and researchers from all EU 27 countries, worktogethersince 2007, IC1-IC2 • The outcome of the intercalibration exercise establishes the boundaries of good ecological status applicable to all national classification systems. • Datacomparableusingnormalized EQR

  2. Biological test dataflowprocess 2008-2010 Work in 2008: • Preparatorywork. Work in 2009: • Developmentofdrafttemplatesforreportingof BIF • Requested data from countries (test data flow), June-Aug. • Qualitycheck, dataanalysisandpresentations at theEcostatandEionet Work in 2010: • Additional reporting sheets weredevelopedfor : phytoplankton (blooms), macroalgae and angiosperms • Benthic inv. fauna reportingsheetwasrevised • Test datareportingwaspreparedforall BQE
