        <![CDATA[The data requested for Nitrates Directive should be derived from existing national and/or regional monitoring networks within each Member State.
The combination of the elements CountryCode, NationalStationCode and StationType must be a unique record in the table. No duplicate records should exist with this combination.
Please consider the following when compiling your data delivery:
1. Provide information on the monitoring stations. The station location must represent a point location.
2. Submit NO3 concentrations (measurement unit: mg/l NO3) for groundwater- and surface water monitoring stations sampled during a period of one or more years within the reporting period.
3. Submit information on the trophic state (and eutrophication parameters) for the surface water monitoring stations.
4. Submit data for each sample site (no aggregation of stations).
5. Submit geographical data sets (in shapefile or geodatabase format) for the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and Potential Vulnerable Zones in order to create and update the NVZ database (hosted by JRC). For GIS guidelines go to http://eionet.europa.eu/gis/ . 
6. Use the templates (XML schemas or Excel) and these specifications to guide you in formatting and collating your data delivery. All are available for download from the data dictionary.
7. Supply data on monitoring stations in XML or Excel format. In the case of Excel format, xls files (= Excel 1997 - 2003) can be used only. Do not use xlsx files. Ensure commas are not used as decimal separators. Please do not use formulas in Excel template fileds, fill values only.
8. Upload your data files to your nominated repository: the Central Data Repository at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/

DATA FOR THE EVALUATION OF WATER QUALITY UNDER THE NITRATES DIRECTIVE
==================================================================
The data required for the evaluation of water quality for Nitrates Directive are the following: 

MONITORING NETWORKS
-	groundwater sampling points - types: phreatic (unconfined) shallow, phreatic deep, captive (confined) and karstic groundwater. 
-	surface (fresh) water sampling points - types: rivers and lakes/reservoirs
-	transitional, coastal and marine water sampling points - types transitional (=estuarine) water, coastal water and marine water.

GROUNDWATER QUALITY DATA LINKED TO THE MONITORING STATIONS
-	data per station on average annual nitrate concentration (this should be read as one value per year i.e. four values for the whole reporting period)
-	data per station on maximum nitrate concentration
-	trends per station on average nitrate concentration between the current and previous reporting period.

SURFACE WATER QUALITY DATA LINKED TO THE MONITORING STATIONS
-	data per station on average annual nitrate concentration (this should be read as one value per year/season)
-	data per station on the maximum and winter average nitrate concentration
-	trends in average nitrate concentration between the current and previous reporting period
-	trophic state / eutrophication parameters per station
-	trends on trophic state / eutrophication parameters between the current and previous reporting period

DEFINITION OF NITRATE VULNERABLE ZONES DATASET
================================================
General information for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones dataset:

The database on the geographical information of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones is hosted by JRC.
Templates have been developed by JRC based on the recommendations made in the Water Framework Directive (Common Implementation Strategy for the WFD (2000/60/EC); Guidance document n°9 'Implementing the GIS elements of the WFD (EC 2003 ISBN 92-894-5129-7)).

Shapefiles according to the templates are requested for the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones.
The Member States that apply a whole territory approach (according to article 3 §5 of the directive) or the Member States that have not changed NVZ designation in the current reporting period do not have to provide the GIS file.

Filling out the tables: 
All elements are required to be filled out unless “optional” or "voluntary" has been indicated or unless the element is not applicable (e.g. if a monitoring station is not used for reporting for WFD, the element EU_CD cannot be filled out.)
If “mandatory” or "required" is indicated, the element shall always be filled in. and after submitting the table in Reportnet, the QA in Reportnet will give an error message if the content of the cell will be empty.
