The revision of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires Member States to share with the EEA all data on chemical occurrences in water and on the monitoring of such chemical occurrences. Additionally, Member States are already required to report monitoring data to the EEA regarding the presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in air under Union air quality legislation. Regulation (EU) 2025/2455 of the European Parliament and the Council requires the EEA to hold all chemical occurrence data. Consequently, the EEA is to collect and hold any chemical occurrence data provided to and held by the Commission in IPCHEM. It is therefore necessary to simplify the reporting obligations for Member States to ensure that, where information has already been submitted to the EEA voluntarily or pursuant to obligations under other pieces of Union environmental legislation, Member States should be considered to have fulfilled their reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) 2019/1021.
