Andorra: observe the small sample size. Austria: From 2003 on. results are based on the 16x16 km transnational grid net and must not be
compared with previous years. Cyprus: Only conifers assessed. Moldova: only broadleaves assessed. Poland: Change of grid net since
2006. Russian Federation: North-western and Central European parts only. Ukraine: Change of gridnet in 2005. Hungary, Romania:
comparisons not possible due to changing survey designs.
Note that some differences in the level of damage across national borders may be at least partly due to differences in
standards used. This restriction, however, does not affect the reliability of the trends over time.
