Andorra: observe the small sample size. Austria: From 2003 on results are based on the 16 x 16 km transnational grid net
and must not be compared with previous years. Poland: Change of grid net since 2006. Russian Federation: North-western
and Central European parts only. Ukraine: Change of grid net 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.
