Status classification up to 2012/13

The second RBMPs generally show status classification up to 2012/13 and at that time, many measures were only in the process of implementation. With this in mind, the impact of the measures from the first RBMPs may be expected to be small. It takes time to turn plans into changes on the ground. It also takes time for changes on the ground to come through in monitoring results. This is partly due to lag times in the recovery of plant and animal communities and groundwater response times and partly because some status assessments are based on combining monitoring results collected over a number of years.

    Please delete "up to 2012/13" in the title as this is not the case for all MS. In Luxembourg we have used, whenever possible, monitoring data up to 2015 for the status assessment.

    New boundaries have been established for some groundwater bodies. New methods are also being used. The sentence "partly because some status assessments are based on combining monitoring results collected over a number of years" needs to be explained.
