The reporting by the EU Member States on past floods, as well as the voluntary exercise organised by EEA ([1]) has resulted in a valuable database at EU level and detailed information at member state and basin level, available for the public (link to final version of EFID database). There’s a learning process related to the implementation of the FD and some elements in the reporting need further clarification in the next reporting cycle, but there definitely is a concerted action and more consistent and detailed outcomes can be expected in future. The next round of reporting will benefit from additional guidelines to further harmonise the approaches across the EU. Based on the draft FRMPs (WRc 2015), a preliminary conclusion is that the international coordination requires additional efforts.
