Increase in the number of remediated sites
Documentation
Indicator: Increase in the number of remediated sites
Tag: LSI003
Definition: Increase in the number of remediated sites
Unit: Number of sites
Spatial coverage: EU (national values are available for 13 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden, Slovakia)
Time coverage: 2006-2016
Update frequency: Every 3+ years
DPSIR: State
Other policies:
Method: 1) Extraction of the number of remediated sites by country reported under "Site status 6" in the 2016 questionnaire; 2) Interpretation (as "Site status 6" did not exist in the 2006 questionnaire) and subsquent extraction of the number of remediated sites by country reported in the 2006 questionnaire; 3) Selection of the countries which reported remediated sites both in 2006 and 2016 to calculate a difference in the number of remediated sites between 2016 and 2006; 4) Calculation of the increase in the number of remediated sites between 2006 and 2016 by country; 5) Calculation of an EU estimate for the increase in the number of remediated sites based on all remediated sites reported in 2006 and all remediated sites reported in 2016 - therefore, because some countries reported remediated sites in 2006 but not and 2016 and vice versa, the EU estimate does not correspond to the sum of the 13 individual Member States for which values are available at national level.

Accuracy uncertainties: There is great variability across countries due to differences in the definition and number of polluting activities, in the building of registers and related terminology, and in the underlying national policies. Some of the data reported in 2006 cannot be validated anymore. In addition, the management categories for which countries report their statistics have changed between surveys. Consequently, some level of interpretation has been applied in order to compare the 2006 survey to the 2016 survey. Therefore, only the general overall country-internal trend can be intepreted.
