    Table headers:

    AA-EQS: only the EU AA-EQS should be listed here. It does not make sense to always use the lowest MS EQS, as some Member States did not derive EQS according to the CIS guidance no. 27, but used the DW limit value, for instance.

    MAC-EQS: only the EU MAC-EQS should be listed here. And see AA-EQS comment.

    AA-EQS regulated in MS: it would be worthwhile to list all existing MS EQS values, providing a good overview about the variability of EQS MS values.

    Lowest AA-EQS regulated in MS: why is always the lowest EQS value used? Actually, the one with the most solid and scientific derivation procedure should be used to calculate EQS exceedances in this report.
    See also comment on use of the 0.1 µg/L value as AA-EQS for many compounds: it is not ecotox-based and contradicts the CIS guidance no. 27 on derivation of EQS values. Therefore, all 0.1 µg/L values based on the DW limit value should not be used to calculate EQS exceedances in this report.
