Justification for non-use of criterion |
Continent: All the primary criteria have been considered in the assessment of Article 8. However, the lack of information for some species (in particular with regard to D3C3) made it impossible to use them in the assessment of GES.
|

Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
List of commercially-exploited fish and shellfish at sub-regional level, not defined: Coordination with Spain and France in progress. Thresholds for commercially-exploited species at national or sub-regional level and not subject to evaluation, not defined: Coordination with Spain and France in progress.
In the subdivision of the Azores it is difficult to define local management units because most of the commercial species exploited have a spatial distribution that goes well beyond the subdivision.
