Description parameter			Good status was not reached for circalittoral sand and mud in coastal areas, since 38 % does not reach threshold values (30 % reaches threshold values, data lacking for 32 %).			Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).

Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).			An assessment could not be made for infralittoral rock and biogenic reef due to data lacking for 70% of the habitat types (threshold levels reached for 29% of the area).			Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).			For circalittoral sand and mud in the open sea threshold levels are reached for 100% of the assessment area, and thus good status could be considered reached.

Description criteria	Sweden do not have indicators under this criterion yet. The reason is lack of enough and adequate information and knowledge on the benthic habitats. We are active in groups discussing this in CIS-MSFD, as well as in HELCOM. A justification for not using criterion D6C3 is included in ART9GES-Schema for the Baltic.	Sweden do not have indicators under this criterion yet. The reason is lack of enough and adequate information and knowledge on the benthic habitats. Another reason is that threshold values shall be established at union level. We will include these thresholds when they are established. We are active in groups discussing this in CIS-MSFD, as well as in OSPAR and HELCOM. A justification for not using criterion D6C4 is included in ART9GES-Schema for the Baltic.	To achieve GES for criterion D6C5, threshold levels for the relevant indicators are to be reached in 90 % of the assessment area for the respective habitat type.

Description overall status	The Swedish assessment for benthic habitats in 2018 is incomplete, and is assessed only for some elements for criterion D6C5. Coastal areas were assessed building on the assessment done according to the Water Framework Directive but aggregated to coastal water type regarding soft-bottom macrofauna and macrophytes. Habitats in the open sea were assessed based on indicators and assessments available within the regional sea conventions. In cases where no assessments were available, a risk assessment was made based on Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).

Description parameter			An assessment could not be made for circalittoral sand and mud in coastal areas because of data lacking for 27% of the area (63 % of the area reaches threshold levels and 9,6 % does not reach threshold levels).			Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).			An assessment could not be made for circalittoral sand and mud in coastal areas because of data lacking for 27% of the area (63 % of the area reaches threshold levels and 9,6 % does not reach threshold levels).			Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).			An assessment could not be made for infralittoral rock and biogenic reef due to data lacking for 55% of the habitat types (ca 42% reaches threshold values).			Following the precautionary principle good status cannot be considered reached, based on the 2013 reporting of quality parameters under Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).			Good status was not reached for circalittoral sand and mud in the open sea since 50% of the assessment area does not reach threshold values (27% reaches threshold values, data lacking for 23% of the area).

Description criteria	Sweden do not have indicators under this criterion yet. The reason is lack of enough and adequate information and knowledge on the benthic habitats. We are active in groups discussing this in CIS-MSFD, as well as in HELCOM. A justification for not using criterion D6C3 is included in ART9GES-Schema for the Baltic.	Sweden do not have indicators under this criterion yet. The reason is lack of enough and adequate information and knowledge on the benthic habitats. Another reason is that threshold values shall be established at union level. We will include these thresholds when they are established. We are active in groups discussing this in CIS-MSFD, as well as in OSPAR and HELCOM. A justification for not using criterion D6C4 is included in ART9GES-Schema for the Baltic.	To achieve GES for criterion D6C5, threshold levels for the relevant indicators are to be reached in 90 % of the assessment area for the respective habitat type.	Sweden do not have indicators under this criterion yet. The reason is lack of enough and adequate information and knowledge on the benthic habitats.

Description overall status	The Swedish assessment for benthic habitats in 2018 is incomplete, and is assessed only for some elements for criterion D6C5. Coastal areas were assessed building on the assessment done according to the Water Framework Directive but aggregated to coastal water type regarding soft-bottom macrofauna and macrophytes. Habitats in the open sea were assessed based on indicators and assessments available within the regional sea conventions. In cases where no assessments were available, a risk assessment was made based on Article 17 of the Habitats directive (92/43/EEG).
