Description overall status	Sweden has not used the prefilled data reported under the Water Framework Directive. The primary data sources for the assessment are the national monitoring programmes for metals and organic contaminants in sediment and biota, processed using protocols agreed in Helcom and Ospar. Because of differences in monitoring and data used for the respective assessment it has not been possible to systematically combine the results. However, threshold values for biota and sediment are the same as those used under the Water Framework Directive, whereby there is an agreement on substances that generally do not achieve threshold values. Additionally, in the national report it is noted that higher concentrations of contaminants may occur on local scales, and that this may be expressed on the level of water bodies under the Water Framework Directive. The national legislation sets down a different assessment level for substances under criterion D8C1 (except cesium-137) as well as for GES assessment. The national legislation may be revised as regard the level of assessment in line with the present reporting.	Sweden has not used the prefilled data reported under the Water Framework Directive.

Description overall status	Sweden has not used the prefilled data reported under the Water Framework Directive. The primary data sources for the assessment are the national monitoring programmes for metals and organic contaminants in sediment and biota, processed using protocols agreed in Helcom and Ospar. Because of differences in monitoring and data used for the respective assessment it has not been possible to systematically combine the results. However, threshold values for biota and sediment are the same as those used under the Water Framework Directive, whereby there is an agreement on substances that generally do not achieve threshold values. Additionally, in the national report it is noted that higher concentrations of contaminants may occur on local scales, and that this may be expressed on the level of water bodies under the Water Framework Directive. The national legislation sets down a different assessment level for substances under criterion D8C1 (except cesium-137) as well as for GES assessment.

Description overall status	Sweden has not used the prefilled data reported under the Water Framework Directive. The primary data sources for the assessment are the national monitoring programmes for metals and organic contaminants in sediment and biota, processed using protocols agreed in Helcom and Ospar. Because of differences in monitoring and data used for the respective assessment it has not been possible to systematically combine the results. However, threshold values for biota and sediment are the same as those used under the Water Framework Directive, whereby there is an agreement on substances that generally do not achieve threshold values. Additionally, in the national report it is noted that higher concentrations of contaminants may occur on local scales, and that this may be expressed on the level of water bodies under the Water Framework Directive. The national legislation sets down a different assessment level for substances under criterion D8C1 (except cesium-137) as well as for GES assessment.
