GES description
The condition of the habitat type, including its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions (e.g. its typical species composition and their relative abundance, absence of particularly sensitive or fragile species or species providing a key function, size structure of species), is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures. The threshold values are as follows: (a) in coastal waters, the values set in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC; (b) beyond coastal waters, values consistent with those for coastal waters under Directive 2000/60/EC. Values were established through regional or subregional cooperation (HELCOM)
Regional threshold values have not been established yet. National values have been used instead.GES is determined on the basis of the modified indicator relevant for criterion D6C2 for WFD watres
Regional threshold values have not been established yet. National values have been used instead.GES is determined on the basis of the modified indicator relevant for criterion D6C1 for WFD watres
GES is determined on the basis of the modified indicator relevant for criterion D6C1 for WFD waters.
GES is determined on the basis of the indicator relevant for criteria D6C2.
GES is determined as a sum of the results of indicator relevant for criteria D6C1 and D6C2.

Justification for non-use of criterion
The criterion is not used in the assessment since there are no thresholds established and accepted on EU level for the extent of habitat loss.
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
Regional threshold values have not been established yet. National values have been used instead.
