Reported levels of financial cost recovery for each of the above services are plotted for illustrative purposes only, as their calculation can vary greatly across RBDs and localities, and detailed information is largely unavailable from official and regular reporting.

    'Illustrative purposes only'

    I still have seriuous doubts whether one should do that, since you are presenting incoparable data in a way that might suggest that one can compare those data. No matter how many disclaimers you include, any graph will be used somewhere, and then often without the various disclaimers. If we want to prevent that, we should not present those graphs, not even for illustrative purposes only.

       We try to best use of reported data by the Member States to adress different aspects of the integrated water management under the EU WFD. Soemtimes, due to intercalibation issues, the data collected under the certain directives might not be comparable. Therefore, we use disclaimers. Nevertheless, your point is relevant. In order to avoid from potential misinterpretation, we will not use such chart in the indicator.

    Please note, that the 2nd RBMP of Hungary has included cost-recovery levels for the third type of water service (water supply AND sanitation combined) and our corresponding WISE report included cost recovery data differentiated for water supply and sanitation. The Excel table "Public water supply_Prices&Cost recovery_WFD2016.xlsx" does not reflect the information provided.

       We recommend to cotact with Eurostat on this issue.
