GES description
The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below levels which threaten the species, such that its long- term viability is ensured.

The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below levels which threaten the species, such that its long- term viability is ensured.
The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below levels which threaten the species, such that its long- term viability is ensured.
The population abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured.
The population abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured.
The population abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured.
The population abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured.
The population abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured.
The population demographic characteristics (e.g. body size or age class structure, sex ratio, fecundity, and survival rates) of the species are indicative of a healthy population which is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures.
The population demographic characteristics (e.g. body size or age class structure, sex ratio, fecundity, and survival rates) of the species are indicative of a healthy population which is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures.
The marine environment of Cyprus is considered to be in good environmental status by the year 2020 if biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions.
The species distributional range and, where relevant, pattern is in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions.
The species distributional range and, where relevant, pattern is in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions.
The habitat for the species has the necessary extent and condition to support the different stages in the life history of the species.

Justification for non-use of criterion
NO GES was described in 2018
NO GES was described in 2018
The GES is to be removed as it is rather general. New criteria have been included
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
