- Since the previous RBMPs were published, our knowledge of Europe's waters has grown significantly, providing a better understanding of the status, the pressures causing failure to achieve good status, and the measures implemented to generate improvement.

It should be noted that there is no real European benchmark on the implementation of the directive while there is a need to be able to compare the effectiveness of national water management methods country by country. As the Directive is to be implemented in the same way in each EU Member State, the data should be comparable and assessable.
What could be mentioned here or in the text below that this is the result of the WFD; eg that WFD brought about a significant shift in how RBAs comply with the EU water requirements, availability of information for public, understanding of status and pressures as well as measures to achieve improvement
