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.

Progress to targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's GHG and removals targets and progress in achieving them. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from GHG inventories and projections (also collected by the EEA), as well as Annual Emission Allocations (AEAs). This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex I).
DWD’s fully automatic MOSMIX product optimizes and interprets the forecast calculations of the NWP models ICON (DWD) and IFS (ECMWF), combines these and calculates statistically optimized weather forecasts in terms of point forecasts (PFCs). Thus, statistically corrected, updated forecasts for the next ten days are calculated for about 5400 locations around the world. Most forecasting locations are spread over Germany and Europe. MOSMIX forecasts (PFCs) include nearly all common meteorological parameters measured by weather stations.

Protisten (eukaryotische Mikroorganismen) erfüllen wichtige ökologische Funktionen, sie sind die dominierenden Primärproduzenten in Gewässern und die wichtigsten Konsumenten von Bakterien und damit von zentraler Bedeutung für aquatische Nahrungsnetze. Die Diversität von Protisten ist enorm, ihre Verteilungsmuster sind dagegen nicht gut verstanden. Während einige Taxa offensichtlich global verteilt sind, sind einige andere Taxa endemisch. Es ist aber höchst umstritten, inwieweit die für höhere Organismen beobachteten Verbreitungsmuster auf Protisten übertragbar sind. Die nacheiszeitliche Biogeographie Europas ist ideal für die Prüfung der Verallgemeinerbarkeit solcher biogeographischer Muster. Hochdurchsatzsequenzierung erlaubt jetzt die Analyse großräumiger Diversitätsmuster. In diesem Projekt werden wir die Verteilung von Protisten in europäischen Binnengewässern im Hinblick auf die postglazialen Verteilungsmuster von Makroorganismen untersuchen. Wir werden die Variation der Protistendiversität in aquatischen Ökosystemen auf der Basis von Planktonproben von 250 europäischen Seen einschließlich Seen aus Spanien, Frankreich, Italien, Schweiz, Österreich, Rumänien, Ungarn, der Tschechischen Republik, der Slowakei, Polen, Schweden, Norwegen, Griechenland, Kroatien und Bulgarien untersuchen. Wir werden die räumliche Analyse durch saisonale Analyse ausgewählter Seen innerhalb eines zentraleuropäischen Gradienten ergänzen, um räumliche von zeitlichen Mustern zu trennen. Das Projekt wird die Biogeographie, die Phylogeographie und die Diversität der Protisten in europäischen Süßwasserseen auf der Gemeinschaftsebene analysieren basierend auf Hochdurchsatzsequenzierung der molekularen Diversität. Insgesamt wird das Projekt die Gültigkeit allgemeiner biologischer Theorien für mikrobielle Eukaryoten testen.
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. This metadata refers to the whole content of GISCO reference database extracted in May 2021, which contains both public datasets (also available for the general public through http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata) and datasets to be used only internally by the EEA (typically, but not only, GISCO datasets at 1:100k). The database is provided in as a single GDB and also as individual GPKG file per feature, with datasets at scales from 1:60M to 1:100K, with reference years spanning until 2021 (e.g. NUTS 2021). Additional information and metadata is provided with the dataset in the folder docs. The database manual, a file with the content of the database, a glossary, and a document with the naming conventions are included in this folder. The document GISCO-ConditionsOfUse.pdf provided with the dataset gives information on the copyrighted data sources, the mandatory acknowledgement clauses and re-dissemination rights. The license conditions for EuroGeographic datasets in GISCO are provided in a standalone document "LicenseConditions_EuroGeographics.pdf". The main updates with respect to the previous version of the full database in the SDI (from June 2020) are the addition of the following datasets: - Coastline boundaries, 2020 (COAS_2020) (N.B.: An update is expected soon) - Degree of Urbanisation, 2020 (DGURBA_2020) - Exclusive Economic Zones, 2020 (EEZ_2020) - FAO Fishing Areas, 2020 (FAO_FISH_2020) - Healthcare services (HEALTH) - LAU Historical Census data (LAU_CENS_1961-2011) - Local Administrative Units, 2017 (LAU_2017), 2019 (LAU_2019) and 2020 (LAU_2020) - LUCAS, 2018 (LUCAS_2018) - Metropolitan Regions, 2021 (MREG_2021) - Postal Codes, 2020 (PCODE_2020) (N.B.: DE is to be updated soon) When available, the model specifications of these new layers are also provided with the database (under the folder docs).
