GES description
D7C1 does not entail a definition of the AEB as its assessments must provide technical information for use in D7C2, and the AEB Decision does not require a threshold value or a status assessment.
The assessment of D7C2 should provide technical information for use in D6C5 and the BEA Decision does not require a status assessment, but the characterisation of the environmental status is linked to the assessment of the condition of the habitat potentially affected by the condition.
