3.1. Geographical Coverage
The geographical coverage for each database or monitoring programme varies depending on the scope of each programme. Table 3.1 shows the EEA area countries involved in each monitoring programme. Germany has the highest level of participation in monitoring programmes (a total of 27). Whilst some countries are signatories to Conventions and their associated monitoring programmes they have not reported data. For example, Spain and Luxembourg have not reported data for the Joint Monitoring Programme under the Oslo and Paris Conventions and no information is available from the Netherlands relating to monitoring carries out under the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution.

3.2. Temporal Coverage Per Country
The metadatabase contains information on the history of monitoring for 22 programmes. However, there is no information relating to that carried out for:
the Dobris Assessment;
the CORINE information system;
the Shellfish Water Directive;
he Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (fresh and salt water); and
the pollution land compilations monitoring under the Helsinki Convention.
The temporal information included covers the total number of years that sampling has been carried out for each EEA country (Table 3.2) and the year that monitoring started for each programme. Table 3.3 shows the number of years that monitoring has been carried out in non-EEA countries.
