The approach used by the Netherlands for setting targets and indicators is described in Annex 3 of the Common Understanding document (Approach 3). Targets are set at the level of, and structured along the 29 criteria from the Commission decision 2010/477. Basic principle in drafting the targets is to keep them as surveyable and straightforward as possible, focussing on the, as far as known, main pressures and impacts as identified in the initial assessment. The targets for 2020 are realistic targets. Starting from the present situation described in the initial assessment and aiming for GES, realistic targets for 2020 are set, taking into account attainability and affordability, social and economic considerations and the response time of the ecosystem. Where GES cannot be attained in 2020 interim targets are formulated. Indicators are structured along the criteria of the commission decision ,making use of the list of indicators presented in the commission decision. Basic principle in drafting the indicators is to keep the set as concise as possible with a focus on making the achievement of targets measurable, making use of existing indicators, as much as possible, in order to make the monitoring both effective and efficient and as much as possible within the existing budgets. Indicators have to link up with indicators of neighbouring countries in the North Sea. Advices from EU and OSPAR working groups, ICES and national institutes as well as insights from other studies have been used.

•the IMO Ballast Water Convention is expected to take effect in 2013 or later
•establishing conditions for Nature Conservation Act permits for the transfer of living shellfish to Natura 2000 areas
•the development of a Beleidslijn Verplaatsingen Schelpdieren [Policy line on shellfish transfer]
