Todo
The option “Monitored but not used” should be removed,
because it does not convey concrete information about the status.
Member States can report monitoring results
under the WISE-6 Water Quality dataflow:
that provides concrete information
about what is being monitored
beyond the requirements of the ecological status assessment.
Todo
The applicability of the quality elements should be reported in the surface water methodologies and only the applicable quality elements should be reported in the quality elements table.
Todo
If at least one biological quality element has ‘moderate’, ‘poor’ or ‘bad’ status or potential, then the ecological status cannot be ‘unknown’.
Clearer guidance must be provided to MS with regard to these cases.
The quality control must enforce the adopted guidance.
Todo
Include the CIS Guidance flowcharts for the ecological status assessment.
