We would like you to fill-in the Excel file and return it to us by the end of January, in order to get sufficient time to prepare an analysis for the working group meeting. During this meeting, we will also have the opportunity to discuss WS-D management plans prepared by some countries. If such plan has been prepared in your country, we would appreciate receiving a copy in preparation of the meeting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We will also put online a customised version of the reporting tool set-up by water topic center of the European Environment Agency -EEA- to collect data on WS-D in Europe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please do no hesitate to contact us if you need additional information.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
