Situation 1 – What to do ? IC completed – all countries, Annex 1 E.g., Lake Alpine, Central-Baltic, Northern Macrophytes To translate the IC results to the national classification systems “Guidelines to translate the intercalibration results into the national classification systems and to derive reference conditions” SCG meeting 22 March 2013
