In all sub-basins the same approach for setting targets was applied. For all indicators 5-class classification scales were developed, similarly to FWD approach of high, good, moderate, poor and bad status. The target=GES border was set at the border between Good and Moderate status. Indicators are set in Commission Decision.

Achieving and / or maintaining the concentrations of contaminants (synthetic, non-synthetic, radioactive) in biotic and abiotic components of the marine ecosystem at levels exceeding limit, below which the probability of adverse effects of their impact on marine organisms is minimal and that are consistent with the recommendations of the current national and international legislation which guarantee achieve good environmental status by reducing and / or maintaining the current level of inflow of pollutants from various marine and terrestrial sources entering the marine environment.

The concentrations of hazardous substance in selected matrices are related to the target values defining the border between GES and subGES. If the contamination factor (CF) calculated as a ratio of environmental concentration to the target concentration is lower than 1 (CF<1), the GES is reached. When CF > 1, the status is subGES.
