GES description |
GES not determined at sub-regional level as laid down in Article 3 (5) (b) of the MSFD. In the Art.8 assessment it was considered that if the mortality rate associated with by-catch (D1C1) is less than 1,7 of the best stock estimate, and the abundance (D1C2), the distribution area (D1C4) and the habitat of the population (D1C5) have not decreased, the GES of the element is reached (assessment at the level of the species group was not considered appropriate as the same group of species has different ecological characteristics)

New determination |

Justification for non-use of criterion |
Continent: All the primary criteria have been considered in the assessment of Article 8. However, the lack of thresholds or methodologies defined at sub-regional level, and the lack of information for some species, made it impossible to use them in the assessment of GES.
|
||||||
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
Mainland: lists of species representing each species group at risk of incidental catch not defined at sub-regional:coordenação with the authorities of Spain and France in Lower Thresholds for each species for the sub-region not estabelecidos:dados insufficient relative to pressure and populations
