surfaceWaterBodyName - Required.

Readily understandable name of the surface water body in English that is meaningful outside of the RBD or Member State. It should include the name of the river, lake, transitional water, coastal water or territorial water in which the surface water body is located.

    The name of the surfacewater body should be in the national language, as it is a proper name and it is linked to our legislation. All legal references to the name will not be found when using the name in English.

    Maybe a new field with the name in English could be included as an optional field. In the GIS Guidance the nameText (name in national language) is mandatory and nameTextInternational is optional (English version of name).

       We suggest to use only the surface water body name in national language (in the ACCESS -data base; in GIS reporting WB name in English could remain optional).

    Only main rivers have understandable name of the surface water body in English. The others should be in a national language.

    Nearly all rivers in Luxembourg don't have a name in English. We would also suggest to report the names of the WBs in the national language as these names are also used in the RBMPs.

    We support the ES proposal

    Only main rivers have understandable name of the surface water body in English. The others should be in a national language.

    So the field with the name in English could be included as an optional field. In the GIS Guidance the nameText (name in national language) is mandatory and nameTextInternational is optional (English version of name).
