Class: SurfaceWaterBody (SWB chemical status)

  1. Please include here any comments which apply to all the schema elements in this Class.
  2. 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;

    Comment on reporting chemical status for water matrix and for biota

    The whole chapter should be complemented with the options to report separately chemical status for water matrix and separately for biota.

    Products, proposed in chapter 2.5.2 are not comperable between countries, because some MS already have biota monitoring and other use different approaches for the assessment (for example: modelling on the basis of pressures).

    Comparison of chemical status of surface waters in EU countries, obtained on the basis of different data (with and without biota monitoring), is not appropriate and can be misleading.

      HU: Agreed, Hungary supports

    We support the comment made by Sl.

    If the chemical status without ubiquitous substances should be reported, one could add a schema element in this class (e.g. swChemicalStatusValueWithoutUbiquitousSubstances). Besides, if a change in the evaluation of the chemical status appears, a second schema element could be added in order to indicate which ubiquitous substances are leading to the failure of good chemical status.

    NO finds the SL proposal to be a too drastic change in the data model. We do not support the change
