The WFD targets are projected to be achieved. Therefore, the environmental risks of undesirable pollution effects on the marine environment continue to fall, due to existing policies The environmental risks will be even small between 2020 and 2027 and beyond. Good environmental status for most of the substances is expected to be within reach in the years after 2020. However, D8 dangerous substances have been reported with an Article 14 exception. The MSFD programme of measures provides the maximum possible commitment to achieving good environmental status for the descriptor dangerous substances, both for measures on land (WFD implementation) and for measures at sea. No technical measures may be taken to eliminate the presence of dangerous substances in the Dutch part of the North Sea. Natural conditions do not allow for a timely improvement of the situation of this part of the North Sea.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned in many countries in the mid-1980s. Since then, concentrations of PCBs in sediment have decreased in most OSPAR sub-regions - although there are still problems at the local level. With the exception of the most toxic congener (CB118), the concentrations in sediment are below the level at which they can pose an unacceptable risk to the environment.
