    We suggest to add an additional row:

    With uPBTs Without uPBTs Approach taken Countries using this approach
    Widespread (80-100%) failure to achieve good chemical status Frequent/widespread failure to achieve good chemical status
    LU (when applying the 2013 EQS)
  • reckinann (Anne-Marie Reckinger) 26 Feb 2018 11:18:21

    In the first row, the reference to Luxembourg can be maintained but the text should be replaced as follows "LU (when applying the 2008 EQS)".

    In the second row, the reference to Luxembourg should be deleted.

    BE-FLA (RV): p. 37, Table 3.1

    Explain the criteria used to mention BE and LU in brackets

    BE-WAL (EC): p. 37, Table 3.1

    Why is BE between brackets?

    Why is BE in the different lines? We think that Wallonia is in line1

    Table 3.1 is missing a row between frequent (30-50%) and widespread (80-100%). Finland should be in that (51%).

    This Table 3.1 is not clear. We do not know if it explains the previous figures or if it presents the monitoring strategies of MS. In the latter case, it is too simple and probably induces some mistakes (can each country be limited to one box?). We suggest to delete this Table (or, at least, to explain how it is constructed)
