Question

How do you calculate indicator 8 (Emissions to water) from Table 1 (and similar indicators) where the explicit formula is not provided?

Answer

See paragraph 21 of the clarifications document and Question IV.10 above. Paragraph 21 of the clarifications document: “21. […] the ESAs are of the view that indicator 8 in Table 1 of Annex I (emissions to water) should be expressed as a weighted average (which is defined in the Annex) of the priority substances referred to in the definition of “emissions to water” in Annex I”.
