8. Quality issues of Art.8 reporting
Absence of proper coding integrity
Between Article 8 files: link is missing between “monitoring programmes” and “monitoring stations” files
In principle all monitoring stations should belong to at least one sub-programme in the monitoring programmes file and this should be linked through the sub-programme code.
If the link does not work then it is not possible to know the water category of the monitoring station (except by linking to Art 5) and all the associated information on what the monitoring objectives are, quality elements, frequencies, etc.
Between Article 8 and Article 5 submission: water bodies codes do not match for ~50% of the stations
Wrong coordinates
Schema/XML not used in some cases
