swChemicalStatusGrouping - Conditional.
If no monitoring data is available for this surface water body and status has been derived through grouping by extrapolating monitoring data from other surface water bodies, indicate the codes of the surface water bodies which have been monitored and used in grouping.
For example if the status of surface water body A has been determined by extrapolating monitoring data from surface water bodies B and C, then the euSurfaceWaterBodyCode for surface water bodies B and C should be reported in this element.

Gropuping is not carried out at WB level but at QE (for ecological status), or priority substance level (for chemical status).
The element should be moved to the Class: SWPrioritysubstance (but as it is now it does't either fit in SWProritysubtance class because it is not the equivalent to the Qualityelement Class for Ecological status), an the explanatory text should be changed adding the underlined text to:
If no monitoring data is available for this Priority Substance in this surface water body and status has been derived through grouping by extrapolating monitoring data from other surface water bodies, indicate the codes of the surface water bodies which have been monitored and used in grouping.
HU: Reporting of grouping should be allowed at both aspects: between WB-s and at QE levels, e.g. chemical status or supporting physico-chemical status.
It is true that grouping will be at QE and/or substance level (or group of substances) Leaving this element in the current class gives no clear information to report because the reported list of waterbodie(s) code(s) it is unknown which parameters are used for grouping. But it may not be the bests sollution to move this element, it will be to much detailled reporting. Maybe it can be considered to delete this element. Then the previous element swChemicalMonitoringResults gives an indication for the status assessment whether grouping is used or not.
Due to the large number of RBDs and because grouping is performed at national level, in Greece there are several cases where the (monitored) surface water bodies which are used in grouping are part of a different RBD (different database). Could there be an option to indicate the codes of surface water bodies (used in grouping) of different RBDs, in order to avoid to incude this information in Annex 0?
If it can be done easily, NO supports the ES proposal
