swEcologicalExemptionPressure - Conditional. (SignificantPressureType_Enum)
If any Article 4(4), Article 4(5) and/or Article 4(7) exemptions apply to this surface water body for ecological status, report the significant pressure(s) that are causing failure in order to justify the exemption(s).

To report only the SWBs with exemptions and to eliminate the WBs with “No exemption”; we tried to not report/we try to eliminate the WBs with “No exemption”, but a reporting error occurred.
There are no adequate quantified results available on remediating actions (and related pressures) to achieve the good ecological status. Ecological status is a very complex process especially in waterbodies subject to multiple pressures (hydromorphological, physico-chemical and chemical pollution). There is no straight forward relation between pressure-status-effects of measures (ecological impact).
The level of detail to report is more detailed than requested by the WFD.
RO supports BE Flanders point of view.
We support the comment form BE-FI.
As detailled information on pressures are reported in schema element "swSignificantPressureType" we don't see the added value to report such information here. Besides the choice of exemptions to be applied is usually based on the whole "set" of pressures which a WB is subject to and therefore it is not always easy to link the exemption to a concrete set of pressure-driver (especially as we think that the list of pressure types in annex 1a is too detailled).
We wish to keep it as it is.
