The main file "alures_nts_projects.csv" contains all the data of the latest published NTS versions of the project since 2021.

Export all data: alures_nts_projects.csv

Updated every working day.

Where data attributes consist of more than one component (such as keywords and purposes) or a combination of different data elements (such as expected harms combining species and severities), each component is separated by a comma.

For those who want to process and analyse the data in more detail using their own tools, it is possible to download the below data attributes separately.

These can be linked to the main file "alures_nts_projects" via the key "nts_id".

Results of Retrospective Assessment (RAR)

The main file "alures_ra_retrospective_assessment.csv" contains all the data of the latest published RAR versions since 2022.

It is important to remember that only 17 Member States require the publication of the Results of Retrospective Assessment. These are: Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Sweden and Finland.

The remaining Member States neither record in their Non-technical project summaries (NTS) whether a project is selected for Retrospective Assessment, nor publish these results (RAR).
