Data sources from EEA for abstraction were not taken completely (we checked the data for 2018 and 2019 for Slovakia, there is difference in the categories of abstractions for electricity production (the sum used for index calculation is lower than reported).

  Thank you for your comment, we will re-assess the Slovakian case in the context of underlying data and potentially correct the WEI+ results

Same comment as Slovakia, we've noticed slight differences between reported data (either to Eurostat or EEA) and EEA data available online for 2018 and 2019
