Radar problem North Sea sector?

Anyone out there understand what's going on? Allegedly there is a new instruction that controllers must apply 5nm lateral separation between tracks flying the same route even if they are vertically separated!!

Is this something to do with the radar that broke in the storms recently or is it a new problem?

If there's a technical bug with the Swanwick kit, shouldn't this have been exposed during testing before the system is declared safe to use?
