Interestingly, some countries which also have a national adaptation strategy (NAS) and national action plan (NAP) adopted (i.e. Germany, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden) (EEA, 2013) reported in the self-assessment survey that they do not consider themselves in the implementation phase but rather in the formulation and decision stage. One explanation for this could be that some countries are currently revising and specifying their adaptation policies, e.g. by integrating new information for adaptation implementation (e.g. cost estimates in Germany) or redesigning their strategy (e.g., The Netherlands). Others, with a NAS adopted (e.g. Ireland, Portugal), might have assessed their stage as formulation/decision as they are presently in the process of developing their action plans of more focussed strategies or updating their existing NAS (e.g. in the case of Portugal to focus on implementation and monitoring).

this para deals with the very important notion of the iterative character (and priority setting) in planning adaptation. The essence of it should be highlighted in the beginning/summary of the report as a kind of disclaimer.
acknowledged - but addressed in the summary
Poland does not have NAP. Sectoral and regional action plans are currently under development.
