Having in view the complexity of this issue on forecasting the exemptions at quality element level and the existing justified uncertainty regarding the pressures and biological responces we suggest either:
1. to become optional or
2. to allow a reporting similar to WISE of 1stRBMPlan at level QE0- Ecological, QE1-Biological, QE3-Chemical and physico-chemical, QE3-3 Non priority specific pollutants, Q E3-4 Other national pollutants or 3. to eliminate this table, having in view that this info was not relevant/included in the context of EC assessment of the 2nd RBMPlans.

Usually exemption(s) apply if good status or potential is not expected to be achieved by 2015 (risk), and it is necessary to report the significant pressure(s) that are causing failure in order to justify the exemption(s).

In this case it is not necessary to report pressure (is it correct or a mistake??)

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 failing to achieve good status is in most cases a combination of disproportionate costs and technical reasons. Due to the uncertainty on the effects of different measures on different pressures it is not possible to generate information on the type of exemption per quality element. The level of detail to report is more detailed than requested by the WFD.

  RO supports the BE Flanders point of view.

  We share the same position position as Belgium.

to be consistent with comments on qeGrouping, also for the exemption is not possible to assign to each QE.
