The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water and the treatment and discharge of waste water from certain industrial sectors. The objective of the Directive is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of the above mentioned waste water discharges. This series contains time series of spatial and tabular data covering Agglomerations, Discharge Points, and Treatment Plants.
The dataset contains information on the European river basin districts, the river basin district sub-units, the surface water bodies and the groundwater bodies delineated for the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) as well as the European monitoring sites used for the assessment of the status of the above mentioned surface water bodies and groundwater bodies. This data set is available only for internal use of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. Please use the "PUBLIC VERSION": https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/a0731ebf-6bcc-4afe-bab0-39e7aa88eaba for external use. The information was reported to the European Commission under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting obligations. The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 2nd RBMPs due in 2016 (hereafter WFD2016). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715 for further information on the WFD2016 reporting. See also https://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/766 for information on the Environmental Quality Standards Directive - Preliminary programmes of measures and supplementary monitoring. Where available, spatial data related to the 3rd RBMPs due in 2022 (hereafter WFD2022) was used to update the WFD2016 data. See https://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/780 for further information on the WFD2022 reporting.
The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).
This data set contains current and critical metal concentrations and its exceedances in topsoils, as well as data related to the current and critical metal inputs to and outputs from soils (uptake, accumulation and leaching) and the resulting exceedances of critical metal inputs. This data set has been compiled by the European Topic Centre on Urban, Land and Soil Systems (ETC/ULS) in the context of a study on metal and nutrient dynamics where the fate and dynamics of the most abundant heavy metals and nutrients in agricultural soils were investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of agricultural intensification in Europe, and to understand its environmental impact. Metal concentrations in soils were used from two consecutive Europe-wide geochemical surveys, sampled in 1998 (FOREGS survey) and 2009 (GEMAS survey). For land use, the 2010 Eurostat data were used. The metals included in this data set are cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The results on the fate of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are included in a separate dataset. Cu and Zn are minor nutrients but at high inputs, they may cause adverse impacts on soil biodiversity, whereas Cd and Pb are toxic metals that may lead to soil degradation, by both affecting soil biodiversity and food quality. Metal budgets based on spatially explicit input and output data were calculated using the INTEGRATOR model; approximately 40,000 so-called NCUs as unique combinations of soil type, administrative region, slope class and altitude class were used. Available critical limits for food, water and soil organisms, from different existing regulations and studies, were converted to soil property-dependent critical metal concentrations (soil-based quality standards), which were then used to calculate critical metal inputs. The results allow for the first time to identifying spatial hot spots for critical environmental impact of soil pollution for the four most abundant heavy metals. It thus informs policy processes important for planning and guiding sustainable agriculture and soil management. The work is methodologically novel, as it applies endpoint risk to thresholds in soils, and thus guides future impact studies. Updates with more recent land use and soil data are now possible. The description of the included model results and the reference report is provided under "lineage". The data set is provided as SHP and also in a GDB, the latter including as well the N and P concentrations. An Excel file "Metadata heavy metals nutrients.xlsx" with the attribute metadata is provided with the data set.

GISCO (Geographic Information System of the COmmission) is responsible for meeting the European Commission's geographical information needs at three levels: the European Union, its member countries, and its regions. In addition to creating statistical and other thematic maps, GISCO manages a database of geographical information, and provides related services to the Commission. Its database contains core geographical data covering the whole of Europe, such as administrative boundaries, and thematic geospatial information, such as population grid data. Some data are available for download by the general public and may be used for non-commercial purposes. For further details and information about any forthcoming new or updated datasets, see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata.

Yuriko Backes, Ministerin für Mobilität und öffentliche Arbeiten, empfing Petra Berg, Ministerin für Umwelt, Klima, Mobilität, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz sowie Justizministerin des Saarlandes, Michael Hauer, Staatssekretär im Ministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Energie und Mobilität von Rheinland-Pfalz, und Evelyne Isinger, Regionalrätin als Vertreterin des Präsidenten der Region Grand Est, zu einem Arbeitstreffen über die Stärkung der grenzüberschreitenden Zusammenarbeit im Bereich Mobilität. Keine andere Region der Europäischen Union hat so viele Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgänger wie die Großregion. Im Jahr 2024 waren es 276.360, von denen die überwiegende Mehrheit im Großherzogtum Luxemburg arbeitet und täglich die Grenzen überquert, um zu ihrem Arbeitsplatz zu gelangen. Diese bedeutenden Ströme führen zu einer unbestreitbaren gegenseitigen Abhängigkeit zwischen den verschiedenen Mitgliedseinheiten der Großregion, insbesondere im Bereich der Mobilität und der Verkehrsinfrastrukturen, vor allem im Schienenverkehr. Angesichts dieser Realität ist es unerlässlich, dass die Bürgerinnen und Bürger über ein leistungsfähiges, grenzüberschreitendes und überregionales öffentliches Verkehrsnetz verfügen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, engagieren sich die Partner der Großregion für eine gemeinsame und koordinierte Entwicklung der Infrastrukturen und Dienstleistungen, die in ihren jeweiligen Zuständigkeitsbereich fallen. Mobilität macht nicht an Grenzen Halt Derzeit werden zahlreiche umfangreiche Investitionen getätigt, um das Angebot sowohl innerhalb der einzelnen Gebietskörperschaften als auch grenzüberschreitend zu verbessern und so das Angebot des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs in allen Gebieten, die zwangsläufig miteinander verbunden sind, zu optimieren. Zum ersten Mal wurde eine gemeinsame Studie zwischen Luxemburg, den beiden deutschen Bundesländern Rheinland-Pfalz und Saarland sowie der Region Grand Est fertiggestellt: Sie liefert eine faktenbasierte und aktuelle Grundlage, um die bestehende Zusammenarbeit weiter zu unterstützen und neue Impulse für eine strategische Entwicklung künftiger grenzüberschreitender Eisenbahnverbindungen zu geben. Die Studie bestätigt die grundsätzliche Machbarkeit einer direkten Eisenbahnverbindung Luxemburg – Saarbrücken – Mannheim, identifiziert jedoch auch technische, infrastrukturelle, rechtliche und finanzielle Herausforderungen. Eine Umsetzung ist deshalb nur schrittweise und etappenweise möglich. Vorrangig arbeiten die Partner an einer gemeinsamen Lösung, um Fernverkehrsverbindungen zwischen Luxembourg, Saarbrücken und Mannheim zu realisieren, die in das weitere deutsche und europäische Fernverkehrsnetz eingebettet werden. Die Umsetzung einer Direktverbindung als regelmäßige Regionalverkehrsverbindung erfordert einen längeren Vorlauf und wäre bei Zustimmung aller Partner frühestens ab Mitte der 30er Jahre möglich. Für die Vertreterinnen und Vertreter des Saarlandes und Rheinland-Pfalz ist ihre Finanzierung jedoch abhängig von der Entwicklung der Regionalisierungsmittel, die der Bund den Ländern für die Finanzierung von Schienenpersonennahverkehr zur Verfügung stellt. Fortsetzung der Zusammenarbeit nach einem schrittweisen Ansatz Am Ende des Treffens bekräftigten die vier Partner ihren Willen, ihre Zusammenarbeit unter geteilter Verantwortung kontinuierlich fortzusetzen, um gemeinsam die identifizierten Herausforderungen zu bewältigen. Ziel ist es, das Bahnangebot schrittweise zu verbessern, indem nachhaltige Dienstleistungen im Interesse der Bevölkerung der Großregion angeboten werden. Die Einsetzung einer Arbeitsgruppe auf technischer Ebene, die einen regelmäßigen Austausch über bewährte Verfahren und Erfahrungsberichte sowie über Fragen der Sicherheit im öffentlichen Verkehr fördern soll, wurde ebenfalls beschlossen. Es werden auch kurzfristigere Optionen geprüft, darunter eine eingehende Analyse punktueller Fernverbindungen oder die Untersuchung der Verlängerung bestimmter bestehender Fernverbindungen, beispielsweise zwischen Luxemburg und Saarbrücken. Die Überlegungen müssen zwangsläufig in Absprache mit den Betreibern auf beiden Seiten der Grenze und unter Berücksichtigung der Wünsche und Bedürfnisse der Kundinnen und Kunden erfolgen, die im Rahmen der luxemburgweiten und grenzüberschreitenden Umfrage Luxmobil 2025 erfasst wurden.
