Detailed criteria for scoring

Scores based on the evaluation of the data delivered by countries. It is not the intention that this data flow should require countries to make duplicate supplies of data. Any data already submitted to the Marine Conventions need not be re-supplied through the Eionet-Water process. These data will be requested directly from the Marine Conventions. Countries are asked to submit only missing or additional data.
