What was his request? To perform the same analysis on the Dutch?
He was just wondering about the Dutch situation I guess. I don't remember, it was a long time ago. This submission was submitted about 1 year ago, almost.
I did search my email and found the exchange. We were discussing some results for Denmark and Norway around 2014, and he linked me to the Dutch report and said that it provided useful data.

I am saying that one to two sentences describing the previous papers should suffice. You are right there is no need for a lengthy description, but there should be something here.

I still think one sentence stating the two differences prior to doing so in sections 3.1 and 3.2 is good. It helps the reader.
