10.3. Estimates of cost of measures
Article 19 of the WFD requires the European Commission to review the Directive and to propose any necessary amendments. As a part of this review, the European Commission needs to be able to assess the costs and benefits of the implementation of the Directive.
Class: Costs
- Please include here any comments which apply to all the schema elements in this Class.
- In addition to those general schema element level comments, we welcome your views on: a) whether you think this Class can be simplified; and b) whether you think the linkages with other reporting Classes or Schemas can be improved, and how;

The current definitions and examples for investment and operational costs provided in the reporting guidance document, do not cover the wide range of measures adopted. The definitions should be elaborated further in order to allow for consistent classification of costs as may be required by different types of measures. For example, costs related to studies, awareness campaigns and training amongst others should also be categorized as investment costs. Thus, having a clearer definition for each cost category would enable a consistent approach across measures. The definitions ideally should include more than one example.
costOfMeasuresScale20092015 - Required.(MSorRBD_Enum)
Indicate whether the costs reported refer to this specific RBD or for the Member State as a whole.

costOfMeasurePeriod20152021 - Required.
If the reported costs are not for the whole of the second planning cycle, report the reference year (in the format YYYY) or period (in the format YYYY--YYYY) used as the basis of the calculation of costs.
article113aInvestment20152021 - Required.
Report the total investment expenditure (in millions of Euros) of planned measures under Article 11.3.a during the second planning cycle.

It is quite unclear what is asked for here. the guidance states:
Total annual costs should exclude all annual costs of waste water treatment plant functioning.
Does it mean that for all types of measures already implemented we should exclude annual costs or is it just refering to waste water treatment plants?
Clarify: We undestand that it refers only to operational and maintenance cost of planned measures
-
It is not always possible to have the annualCosts (operational and maintenance) for all the measures separated from the investementCosts. It could be one schema element with the total costs (annual + investment).

EL supports this comment and the proposal for one schema element with the total costs.

Guidance on contents of RBMPs/Background documents
(Please see the full text of this sub-section in the WFD Reporting Guidance 2016 or above chapter)
Include here any comments that relate to the information contained in this sub-section of the Reporting Guidance, namely concerning information you think could/should be reported electronically and information which you believe should not be included in the River Basin Management Plans or background documents.
It is not clear for us which products will be prepared on the basis of the reported data and this should be further explained in the reporting document.
As it is not always easy to provide the requested data, we would suggest to add, for each schema element for which numbers should be provided, the option to include a comment regarding the reported data. Besides, we are not sure that the reported data are comparable between MS as investment costs for example might be calculated in different ways in the MS and therefore not always include the same kind of costs. By including the option to provide comments, it could become easier to compare the reported data between MS.
