In Estonia, EQS values in surface waters are point out here: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/131122021003?leiaKehtiv (regulation of the Minister of Environment)
In Sweden, EQS values in surface water can be found on page 29-30 and 77-81 in this document https://www.havochvatten.se/download/18.4705beb516f0bcf57ce1c145/1576576601249/HVMFS%202019-25-ev.pdf
Thanks for the report. We want to note that he data given for Cyprus are correct and the report reflects the situation we see as a competent national authority in CY for monitoring pesticides in SW and GW.
Please also note that in the link: https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/cy/eu/wfd2016/documents/colwepvog/envwepvtq/
at report: “Classification_suppl_CY_2015” (page 27) you can find EQS values for pesticides defined as specific pollutants for surface water in Cyprus.
Switzerland:
The Swiss Ecotox Centre provides proposals for quality criteria for surface waters in Switzerland: https://www.ecotoxcentre.ch/expert-service/quality-criteria/quality-criteria-for-surface-waters/.
Furthermore, the Annex 2 of the Swiss Waters Protections Ordinance defines numerical requirements for the concentrations of organic pesticides (https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1998/2863_2863_2863/en). For the organic pesticides not explicitly mentioned in the ordinance, the general requirement of 0.1 µg/l applies.
