Additional information
The underlaying statistics for the 2016 questionnaire were reviewed in 2022 (EIONET)
23 countries reported in 2016, 18 in 2006. Since 2006, 6 new countries have contributed to the EEA indicator; one country omitted 2016. All new countries have only very initial national registers or inventories. The trend is largely explained by new sites which were detected and added to existing registers.
