MOF alm. del
Spørgsmål 170
Kan ministeren bekræfte, at af praktiske og ressourcemæssige hensyn (fast-
læggelse af status, monitering) kan man samle små sammenlignelige vand-
forekomster i grupper eller lade dem indgå som del af en større sammenligne-
lig vandforekomst i overensstemmelse med CIS guidance document no. 2 og
med Europakommissionens implementeringsrapport fra 2012 - (jf. http://
ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-framework/pdf/3rd_report/
CWD-2012-379_EN-Vol1.pdf; p. 60): "The WFD protects all waters indepen-
dently of their size, but for operational purposes it defines a water body as a
'discrete and significant' element of water. The water body is the scale at
which status is assessed. The thresholds given in Annex II for System A typo-
logy have been used as a possibility for differentiating water bodies but this
approach should not exclude smaller water bodies from the protection of the
Directive. Member States have flexibility to decide not to designate very small
water bodies where, due to the large number of water bodies in a RBD, this
would result in a high administrative burden. Instead, Member States can ag-
gregate these small water bodies into groups or include them as part of a lar-
ger contiguous water body of the same surface water category and of the sa-
me type."
Spørgsmålet er stillet efter ønske fra Lisbeth Bech Poulsen (SF).
