Article 4(4) to (9) of Directive 2000/60/EC shall apply mutatis mutandis to the substances listed in points (i) and (ii), of the first subparagraph of this paragraph.

Article 4(4) to (9) of Directive 2000/60/EC shall also apply mutatis mutandis to the substances listed in points (iii) and (iv) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph. Insofar as the time extensions provided for in Article 4(4) of that Directive are concerned, they shall be limited to a maximum of one further update of the river basin management plan except in cases where the natural conditions are such that the objectives cannot be achieved within that river basin management plan period.
Article 3 1b.
EQS set at Union level for river basin specific pollutants in accordance with Article 16(4) of Directive 2000/60/EC and listed in Part C of Annex II to this Directive or additional river basin specific pollutants and corresponding EQS identified by Member States in accordance with Article 8d(1) of this Directive, shall take effect from the beginning of the following river basin management plan period after the date the EQS was set, with the aim of achieving good surface water chemical status in relation to those pollutants by the end of that river basin management plan period and of preventing deterioration in the chemical status of surface water bodies in relation to those pollutants.

Article 4(4) to (9) of Directive 2000/60/EC shall apply mutatis mutandis to the pollutants referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph. Insofar as the time extensions provided for in Article 4(4) of that Directive are concerned, they shall be limited to a maximum of one further update of the river basin management plan except in cases where the natural conditions are such that the objectives cannot be achieved within that river basin management plan period.
Articolo 3 2.
Per quanto riguarda le sostanze per le quali nell’allegato I, parte A, è fissato un SQA per il biota o i sedimenti, gli Stati membri applicano tale SQA per il biota o i sedimenti.

Per quanto riguarda le sostanze diverse da quelle di cui al primo comma, gli Stati membri applicano gli SQA per l’acqua fissati nell’allegato I, parte A.
Articolo 3 3.
Gli Stati membri possono decidere, in relazione a una o più categorie di acque superficiali, di applicare un SQA per una matrice diversa da quella specificata al paragrafo 2 o se del caso per un taxon del biota diverso da quello specificato nell’allegato I, parte A.

Gli Stati membri che si avvalgono dell’opzione di cui al primo comma applicano gli SQA pertinenti di cui all’allegato I, parte A, o, se non ne è presente alcuno per la matrice o per il taxon del biota, fissano un SQA che offra almeno il medesimo livello di protezione dell’SQA fissato nell’allegato I, parte A.

Gli Stati membri possono ricorrere all’opzione di cui al primo comma soltanto se il metodo di analisi usato per la matrice o per il taxon del biota scelti soddisfa i criteri minimi di efficienza specificati all’articolo 4 della direttiva 2009/90/CE. Nell’eventualità in cui tali criteri non siano rispecchiati per alcuna matrice, gli Stati membri garantiscono che il monitoraggio sia effettuato utilizzando le migliori tecniche disponibili che non comportino costi eccessivi e che il metodo di analisi fornisca risultati almeno equivalenti al metodo disponibile per la matrice di cui al paragrafo 2 del presente articolo per la sostanza pertinente.
Article 3 3a.
Where a potential risk to, or via, the aquatic environment from acute exposure has been identified as a result of measured or estimated environmental concentrations or emissions and where a biota or sediment EQS is being applied, Member States shall ensure that monitoring in surface water is also carried out and shall apply the MAC-EQS laid down in Part A of Annex I to this Directive where such EQS have been established.
Article 3 3b.
Where, pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/90/EC, the calculated mean value of a measurement, when carried out using the best available technique not entailing excessive costs, is referred to as ‘less than limit of quantification’, and the limit of quantification of that technique is above the EQS, the result for the substance being measured shall not be considered for the purposes of assessing the overall chemical status of that water body.
Articolo 3 4.
Per le sostanze alle quali si applica un SQA per i sedimenti e/o il biota, gli Stati membri monitorano la sostanza nella corrispondente matrice almeno una volta all’anno, sempre che le conoscenze tecniche e la valutazione degli esperti non giustifichino un altro intervallo.
Articolo 3 5.

Negli aggiornamenti dei piani di gestione dei bacini idrografici predisposti conformemente all’articolo 13, paragrafo 7, della direttiva 2000/60/CE gli Stati membri inseriscono le informazioni seguenti:

a) 

una tabella contenente i limiti di quantificazione dei metodi di analisi applicati e le informazioni sulle prestazioni di tali metodi in relazione ai criteri minimi di efficienza fissati all’articolo 4 della direttiva 2009/90/CE;

b) 

per le sostanze per le quali si applica l’opzione di cui al paragrafo 3 del presente articolo:

i) 

i motivi e la giustificazione per la scelta di tale opzione

ii) 

se del caso, gli SQA alternativi stabiliti, la dimostrazione che tali SQA garantirebbero perlomeno il medesimo livello di protezione degli SQA fissati nell’allegato I, parte A, ivi compresi i dati e la metodologia utilizzati per ottenere gli SQA, e le categorie di acque superficiali a cui si applicherebbero

iii) 

per permettere un confronto con le informazioni di cui al presente paragrafo, lettera a), i limiti di quantificazione dei metodi di analisi per le matrici specificate nell’allegato I, parte A, della presente direttiva, comprese le informazioni sulle prestazioni di tali metodi in relazione ai criteri minimi di efficienza fissati all’articolo 4 della direttiva 2009/90/CE;

c) 

la giustificazione della frequenza applicata per i monitoraggi in conformità del paragrafo 4, se gli intervalli tra un monitoraggio e l’altro sono superiori a un anno.
Article 3 5a.
Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the updated river basin management plans, produced in accordance with Article 13(7) of Directive 2000/60/EC, containing the results and impact of the measures taken to prevent chemical pollution of surface water, and the interim report describing progress in the implementation of the planned programme of measures in accordance with Article 15(3) of Directive 2000/60/EC, are provided through a central portal which is accessible to the public electronically in accordance with Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 on public access to environmental information ( 2 ).
Articolo 3 6.
Gli Stati membri predispongono l’analisi della tendenza a lungo termine delle concentrazioni delle sostanze prioritarie di cui all’allegato I, parte A, identificate come sostanze che tendono ad accumularsi nei sedimenti o nel biota, in base al monitoraggio dei sedimenti o del biota nell’ambito del monitoraggio dello stato delle acque superficiali effettuato a norma dell’articolo 8 della direttiva 2000/60/CE. Gli Stati membri adottano misure atte a garantire, fatto salvo l’articolo 4 della direttiva 2000/60/CE, che tali concentrazioni non aumentino in maniera significativa nei sedimenti o nel biota.

Gli Stati membri determinano la frequenza del monitoraggio nei sedimenti e/o nel biota in modo da disporre di dati sufficienti per un’analisi di tendenza a lungo termine affidabile. A titolo indicativo, il monitoraggio dovrebbe essere effettuato ogni tre anni, sempre che le conoscenze tecniche e la valutazione degli esperti non giustifichino un altro intervallo.
Articolo 3 8.
Alla Commissione è conferito il potere di adottare atti delegati conformemente all’articolo 9 bis al fine di modificare l’allegato I, parte B, punto 3, per adeguarlo al progresso scientifico o tecnico.
Article 3 8a.
In order to facilitate the implementation of this Article, technical guidelines on monitoring strategies and analytical methods for substances, including sampling and monitoring of biota, shall be developed, to the extent possible, by 22 December 2014, as part of the existing implementation process of Directive 2000/60/EC.

In particular, the guidelines shall cover:

(a) 

the monitoring of substances in biota as provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article;

(b)
