				<xs:annotation>
					<xs:documentation>Required. The Directive requires coordination among Member States for the management of transboundary Water Bodies. Transboundary water bodies are those crossing the border between countries or constituting part of the border between two countries for a certain length. For reporting purposes in the case of water bodies that cross the border between countries, and for the sake of clarity, each Member State should report on its own part of these trans-boundary Water Bodies. Geographic information should therefore be provided for the part of the Water Body within the reporting Member State and likewise for all elements which have a clear geographical reference (e.g. size, monitoring stations). Each Member State should also report on all elements that apply to the whole water body (status, pressures, etc). For the latter the Commission expects that the information provided by each of the Member States concerned will be identical, as a result of the coordinated management required by the Directive.</xs:documentation>

				<xs:annotation>
					<xs:documentation>Required. Indicate whether it is expected that this groundwater body will achieve good quantitative status by the end of 2015. This may differ from the data reported under gwQuantitativeStatusValue because the assessment of status included in the second RBMP will most likely be based on monitoring data from the period 2010-2014, given that the second RBMP will be prepared in 2014 for public consultation. Therefore, the status communicated in the second RBMP may not necessarily reflect the expected status in 2015. The methodology of this assessment should be clearly explained in the RBMP or background documents (reference reported under classification methodologies). If an Article 4(5) exemption for quantitative status is applied then 'No' should be selected. Quality checks: Within-schema check: If gwQuantitativeExemptionType is 'Article 4(4)...' or Article 4(5)…', the option 'No' must be selected from the enumeration list.</xs:documentation>

According to Article 4(4)c of the WFD, postponing the achievement of objectives beyond 2027 is only possible due to natural conditions. If Article 4(5) exemptions apply, report the date by when the less stringent objective is to be achieved.
