• To provide some recommendations and assistance.
• To test the data processing and to assess the added value of the RED use with CARE.

Important subjects

To set up a European common framework for a set of RED to make comparable RED and levels of risk over subsets of EU countries

Current status

A questionnaire concerning gathering methods, definitions and comparability has been sent to the National Correspondents (deliverable 2.2.1). The analysis of the replies and the common framework setting-up are being processed.

Products so far

The deliverables D2.1.1 “State-of-the-art Report” D2.2.1 “RED Questionnaire” are completed.

Future plans

• To carry out a mid-term report “Classification of the EU members States on RED”, (Deliverable D2.2.2,scheduled for December 2006).providing the assessment of the gapsand allowing to set-up a common RED framework
• Guidelines and recommendations for comparable risk levels assessments over EU countries.
