Target assessment description	The target value of the indicator is a decrasing trend in input of nitrogen and phosphorus to the basins or that the input of nitrogen and phosphorus are below the maximum allowable input within international agreements. The input of nutrients (including atmospheric deposition are decreasing, but the target values are still not reached. Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures. The assessment in relation to the target from the Programme of Measures decided in 2015 is still valid.	For description of the target values for the three indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets. Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures.

Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures.
