(6)The first phase of the intercalibration exercise was incomplete. Hence the Commission initiated a second phase for this process. The results of this exercise were included in Commission Decision 2013/480/EUnote in order to close the gaps and improve the comparability of the intercalibration results in time for the second river basin management plans due in 2015. The results revealed that, in some cases, intercalibration was only partially achieved. There were also Geographical Intercalibration Groups and biological quality elements for which there were no intercalibration results for inclusion in that Decision.
