Policy/environmental relevance

Improved reporting on water service prices and financial cost recovery is increasingly pertinent in light of the large investments needed to meet the objectives of the WFD, to comply with Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and Drinking Water Directive (DWD) requirements, and to ensure adequate infrastructure renewal.

    'Improved reporting on water service prices and financial cost recovery is increasingly pertinent ...'

    This comment suggests that if a country does not report a price/m3, that it does not have insight in its situation. And the same applies if a country does not report on cost recovery for sanitation in an identical way as the other countries (that is having collection and treatment of wastewater as one water service). The fact that you did not find a number for the cost recovery for the combination of the collection and treatment of wastewater tends combined with your comment referred to above can easily drive to the conclusion that the Ntherlands still has a lot to do. Even though the only problem is that we have presented collection of wastewater and treatment of wastewater as two seperate water services and you cannot present that in one graph with the data from the other countries.

    I am afraid for quick and easy but wrong conclusions.
