  The report does not present data for each individual member state. The EEA has chosen to calculate the results for groundwater in relation to the the area of groundwater bodies. The Danish Environment Protection Agency finds that such an approach leads to significant methodological problems. 1) it is unclear whether the EEA applies projection areas. 2) It is unclear if one body is considered to be in good status, then the entire area is in good status or if it has been estimated if parts of the area is not included because they do not fulfil the requirements. The different methodologies can affect the result at EU level. For Member States such as Denmark and France, areas of groundwater bodies can exceed the total area of the Member State.

  74 % of EU groundwater bodies (by area) are in good chemical status

  (AT) We agree that the groundwater bodies are only presented and compared by area and not by numbers.
