These synthesis datasets provide information on exemptions from ' objective of #x27; achievement of good chemical status of each mass of groundwater. — EURBDCode: basin code, — EUGroundWaterBodyCode: mass code d'water, — GWB_NAME: name of mass d'water, — LinkSurfaceWaterBodies: dynamic link with surface water bodies, — LinkTerrestrialEcosystems: dynamic link with terrestrial ecosystems, — Objective_BE_chim: date of #x27; objective of good chemical status, QE1 ==> 3,9: quality elements determining failure to achieve good chemical status, — OtherRelevantPollutantCASNumber: CAS code d' other pollutants, — OtherRelevantPollutantName: name of #x27; other pollutants. The reasons given for the exemption from #x27; achievement of good chemical status are indicated among those described in Article 4: Article 4(4) — Disproportionate cost: Article 4(4) — Technical feasibility Article 4(4) — Natural conditions: Article 4(4) — disproportionate costs Article 4(4) -Technical feasibility: Article 4(4) — Natural conditions Article 4(5) — Disproportionate cost: Article 4(5) — Technical Feasibility Article 4(5) -Technical feasibility: Article 4(5) — disproportionate costs Article 4(6) — Accidents: Article 4(6) — Natural Causes Article 4(6) — Force Majeure: Article 4(6) — Force Majeure Article 4(6) — Natural causes: Article 4(6) — Accidents Article 4(7) — New amendment: Article 4(7) — New amendment Article 4(7) — Sustainable human development: Article 4(7) — Sustainable human development The main objective of the Water Framework Directive of 23 October 2000 is to achieve good status for all water bodies in Europe by 2015. These environmental objectives are specified without being formally defined in Article 4 of the Directive. Nevertheless, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) recognises that this good condition will be difficult for a number of water bodies in Europe and provides for mechanisms for exemption from good condition in Articles 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. All exemptions should be justified on the basis of a transparent process. There are mainly five reasons to justify an exemption: • Technical feasibility (Articles 4.4 and 4.5); • Natural conditions (Articles 4.4 and 4.5); • Disproportionate costs (Articles 4.4 and 4.5); • Events of force majeure (for temporary exemptions) (Article 4.6); • Implementation of projects for reasons of general interest (Article 4.7) __Origin__ The summaries are developed by l'ONEMA from the data produced by the DCE basins __Partner organisations__ ONEMA [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/36f9735024707ef14867fb0e4616ae00261a6dce)
