Description [Targets]
Concentration of the contaminants in biota, sediment and water ensures comparability with the assessments under Directive 2000/60/EC.
Threshold value [TargetValue]

The reference condition is represented by EQSs
The reference condition is represented by EQSs
The reference condition is represented by control organisms coming from areas that comply with the GES in terms of chemical concentration
Proportion
Assessment method
Considering single samples, for each contaminant group (including the substance identified in the relevant national and international legislation), the index proposed for the GES may also assume the value of zero. Referring to the AA, the Target is reached when at least 70% of the surface covered by data complies with the conditions above. When these latter are satisfied for all the AAs of the sub region, the GES is reached in the whole sub region
Considering single samples, for each contaminant group (including the substance identified in the relevant national and international legislation), the index proposed for the GES may also assume the value of zero. Referring to the AA, the Target is reached when at least 70% of the surface covered by data complies with the conditions above. When these latter are satisfied for all the AAs of the sub region, the GES is reached in the whole sub region
Considering the single sample, for each defined contaminant group, the variations in terms of bioaccumulation and biological effects (biomarkers), compared to their respective controls and thresholds, are not significant . Taking into account the Assessment Area (AA), the Target is reached when at least 50% of the surface covered by data complies with the conditions above. When this condition is fulfilled for all the AA of the sub region, the Target is reached in the whole sub region
