2.  REPORTING AT SURFACE WATER BODY LEVEL (SCHEMA SWB) including 2.3, 2,4 and 2.5

  • hmwbWaterUse- Conditional. For HMWBs only, report the water use for which it has been designated- this is not the meaning of Art 4(3) of the WFD. (The designation of a WB as HMWB is related to the use that will be significantly affected if restoration measures were put in place.)
  • Use of option “No” for transboundary water bodies with non – EU countries; at present the guidance states: “Transboundary water bodies are those crossing the border between countries or constituting part of the border between two countries for a certain length”
  • Codelist of Annex 1a should not be split by drivers as usually the relation pressure-driver is 1 to n

    1. The aspect given in Comment 13 in "Talkback_comments_28.03.19.xls" is important, but it does not fall within this reporting scheme, therefore we do not agree with the remark.
    2. If you consider that it is necessary to upgrade the Enum list in shema "surfaceWaterBodyTransboundary" as indicated in Comment 24 in "Talkback_comments_28.03.19.xls" , it is in our opinion more appropriate to upgrade the Enum list with the use of wording "transboundary water bodies with non-EU countries".
    3. We agree wit the aspect given in Comment no. 31 in "Talkback_comments_28.03.19.xls". We propose that the codelist of Annex 1a is upgraded with adding an option from which "Dams, barriers and locks - multipurpose" can be selected.
