Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01
Objective : strengthen administrative, monitoring and enforcement capacity in the environmental sector and improve reporting (air, water, waste, nature)
Guaranteed result: improvement in national environmental data reporting from Slovakia to European institutions, esp. the EEA
Specific, practical, and easily measurable project objective: improved ranking of Slovakia in the Priority Dataflow Assessment of the EEA

Environmental Reporting in Slovakia
MoE delegated responsibility for fulfilling environmental reporting obligations to Slovak Environmental Agency (SEA)
EEA National Focal Point located at SEA; coordinates Priority Dataflow Reporting
streamlined approach: together with Umweltbundesamt SEA is building a National Reporting Obligations Database (SK REPORTnet) to execute this demanding task
SK REPORTnet: info on who does what in environmental reporting

What are Priority Data Flows ?
national environmental data reporting obligations towards EEA; of special importance for implementation of environmental legislation and policy-planning.
focus on agreed, stable and well-defined data collection areas, to allow countries to focus their resources to put regular data reporting procedures in place
key thematic areas: air pollutant emissions, air and water quality data as well as data on protected areas (currently 12 data flows)
annual scoring; used for EEA indicator-based reporting

Status in 2004
7th EEA Priority Dataflow Progress Report (8/04)
so far, continuous progress (2000-2003):
72% of possible data set deliveries Rank 15 (of 32 EEA member countries) No delivery of data to EEA Central Data
Repository (CDR) – common practice with EEA member countries
![Page 6: Final Conference Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01 Institution Building in the Environmental Sector](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f45550346895dbce723/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
First steps towards progress
Goal: improve EEA national network National Reference Centre (NRCs) network was
reviewed: 11 national institutions were invited to nominate experts (35 in total) to provide best available data in specific expert areas
Experts received basic training in EIONET tools (ROD, CDR, CIRCA)
NRC technical capacity (Internet, EIONET access) assessed
Oct 2004: Priority Dataflow Workshop at SEA to improve national Slovak data deliveries to EEA (SEA decides to upload deliveries to CDR)

Status PDF Reporting in 2005
Total score of 84% of possible data set deliveries (+12% compared to 2004)
6th place in EEA 2005 ranking (2004 data) of 32 EEA member countries
Improvement due to Increased awareness of reporting tasks among Slovak
institutions as a result of a PDF workshop and systematic follow-up on Priority Dataflows
Streamlining of dataflows, better communication between institutions involved in PDF reporting
International (Austrian) expertise with Priority Dataflow Reporting directly passed on to Slovak experts; hands-on training with different Reportnet tools.

Status 2006 (1)
CLRTAP: +1 for on-time delivery
First ever NEC delivery
UNFCCC data were delivered
EU-GHG: +1 for inventory report
![Page 10: Final Conference Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01 Institution Building in the Environmental Sector](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f45550346895dbce723/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Status 2006 (2)
Annual ozone: EoI station codes not provided
Designated areas: information on altitude, habitats + centre coordinates provided by 15/6, credited in 2007
![Page 11: Final Conference Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01 Institution Building in the Environmental Sector](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f45550346895dbce723/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Status 2006 (3)
New dataflow water quantity: 2 smileys
Maximum score for 1st delivery on contaminated sites management
![Page 12: Final Conference Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01 Institution Building in the Environmental Sector](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f45550346895dbce723/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Draft 2006 PDF Assessment
Draft summary of national deliveries published on EEA website end May 2006 – 2 week deadline for NFP comments
Further improvement for Slovak Republic Highlights: first deliveries under NEC Directive
and on contaminated sites management, maximum score achieved
+1 points for CLRTAP and EU-GHG 2 smileys for new dataflow water quantity Problem with UNFCCC

Draft 2006 PDF Assessment
CDDA (Central Database on Designated Areas): missing information on altitude (for a total of 1154 areas) and centre points (for 52 areas), were provided by SNC before the reporting deadline, 15 June 2006.
CDDA data considered first delivery of the next reporting cycle, so relevant credit (i.e. smileys) will only be awarded in the course of the 2007 assessment.
The 2006 data request includes specific request to deliver digital boundaries for designated areas – SNC ready to deliver complete datasets

Success Factors
Success reflects the good cooperation between involved institutions
Reliable network of experts at NRCs Good NFP coordination Raised awareness of importance of priority
dataflows Growing commitment of institutions involved
in environmental reporting
![Page 15: Final Conference Twinning SK03/IB/EN/01 Institution Building in the Environmental Sector](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f45550346895dbce723/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Outlook
Big challenge: keep up the good work, stay committed
Room for improvement in several PDF areas including UNFCCC, timely delivery of annual ozone, CDDA
Close follow-up of Slovak NFP for EEA of new data requests, and related changes to the network
Continue cooperation at European level (SEEIS) Problem/risk: frequent change of staff at
governmental institutions
