| Target code/description | ALUE1: Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment. AINE4: Response capacity for oil and chemical accidents is secured. AINE2: Atmospheric deposition of mercury, cadmium, dioxins and polybrominated diphenylethers decrease to Finnish marine area. TIETO3: Finland's maritime chartographic products are included in the ISO S-100 data model of International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Up-to-date topographic and navigational data products are available for planning and monitoring. AINE3: Use of hazardous priority substances (PBDE, PFOS, HBCD, NP/NPE, DEHP, DBP, BBP, SCCP) in industry and consumer products ends or at least decreases. AINE1: Point and riverine inputs of mercury, cadmium and nickel decrease from industry and diffuse sources. |
Target 23: Target 23 - stepwise reduction of anthropogenic inputs of hazardous substances prioritised for Estonian marine area (HELCOM core indicator substances which did not achieve GES). BALEE-T33: BALEE-T33 - reducing the environmental impact from stormwater runoffs (point sources) to the sea. BALEE-T32: BALEE-T32 - reducing the environmental impact from ship loading and unloading activities in ports. BALEE-T31: BALEE-T31 - Estonian national ability to respond to spillages of oil and other harmful substances is in regionally agreed level. BALEE-T35: BALEE-T35 - ships visiting Estonian ports are fulfilling environmental requirements set by international conventions. |
JVM5: Level of contaminants do not cause undesirable effects on marine ecosystem |
7: Reduce the release of hazardous chemicals into the marine environment.
6: Maintain favourable conditions for winter seabirds in their winter areas and reduce their mortality due to the addition of oil products and by-catches in commercial fishing gear. |
PL_Target_D8C2: The impact of pollutants on marine fauna and flora at various levels: molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, individual and population, taking into account cumulative and synergistic effects, is at the level that guarantees the proper functioning of organisms, taking into account the preservation of normal physiological functions and thus maintaining the correct species structure and range of habitats. PL_Target_D8C4: Impact of pollutants, originating from releases resulting from significant acute pollution events on the structure of species (listed in Table 1 of Part II of Commission Decision 2017/848) and on the range of habitats (listed in Table 2 of part II of the Commission Decision), is reduced to a minimum by implementing actions and security systems aimed at to eliminate the presence of pollution of an abrupt nature. PL_Target_D8C1: Reduction or maintenance at current level the inflow of contaminants introduced into the marine environment from marine sources, including an application of measures to minimize releases of contaminants resulting from significant acute pollution event and from land sources in order to achieve or maintain concentrations of pollutants in the biotic and abiotic elements of the marine ecosystem at levels below the permitted thresholds, below which the probability of occurrence of undesirable effects of hazardous substances on marine organisms is minimal and which are in line with the recommendations of current national and international legal acts and which guarantee the achievement or maintenance of good environmental status. Concentrations of priority substances and other contaminants, with particular attention to organic substances that behave as ubiquitous, persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic, selected in accordance with the WFD, listed in Part A of Annex I to Directive 2013/39/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 August 2013 amending directives 2000/60/EC and 2008/105/EC in the scope of priority substances in the field of water policy (Dz.U. UE L 226 z 24.08.2013), hereinafter referred to as the "priority directive", measured in certain matrices do not exceed the environmental quality standards (EQS) indicated in the priority directive or threshold values determined regionally or at national level, if not specified in the priority directive. Concentrations of River Basin Specific Pollutants, listed in Annex VIII to the WFD do not exceed the threshold values established in accordance with the WFD. Concentrations of substances particularly harmful to the aquatic environment, specific synthetic and non-synthetic pollutants (referring to the water bodies of all categories) listed in Annex 6 to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of 21 July 2016 on the method of classification of the surface water bodies and environmental quality standards for priority substances (Dz.U. poz.1187) do not exceed the threshold values indicated in the same document. Concentrations of other pollutants or groups of substances that may cause pollution effects in the region and considered at the regional level to be significant for the assessment of the status of the environment do not exceed the threshold values determined regionally or at the national level. PL_Target_white tailed eagle: Maintaining or increasing the productivity of the white-tailed eagle by maintaining or reducing the current level of anthropogenic pressure associated with the introduction of synthetic and non-synthetic compounds into the environment and disturbance in breeding sites. PL_Target_D8C3: Occurrence of significant acute pollution events, defined in Article 2 (2) of Directive 2005/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on pollution coming from ships and introduction of sanctions in case of violation of law (Dz.U. UE L 255 z 30.09.2005), including crude oil and similar compounds, are reduced to a minimum by implementing appropriate measures at the operational level and security systems. |
UZO2: The objective is ?Seas without pollution by pollutants?. The objective is implemented by means of the operational objectives TSO2.1, UZO2.2, UZO2.3, UZO2.4 and UZO2.5.
The environmental objectives established in 2012 and their description under the 2012 MSFD report continue to apply....

DK-T8.10: Adverse effects on marine mammals and birds from acute pollution events are prevent-ed and minimised as much as possible. For example, this may be secured by means of floating booms as well as through contingency plans for marine mammals and birds injured in oil spills. DK-T8.6: The Ministry of Environment and Food is working to ensure that more indicators are established DK-T8.7: The Ministry of Environment and Food ensures increased coordination between policy areas/directives when new national environmental quality requirements are set for selected substances in matrices, where there is monitoring data DK-T8.4: There is a gradual decrease in the levels of imposex/intersex in marine gastropods DK-T8.8: The Ministry of Environment and Food is working to develop additional regional joint tests for biological impacts. No appropriate feature could be found DK-T8.9: The spatial extent and duration of acute pollution events is gradually reduced as much as possible through prevention, monitoring and risk-based scaling of contingency and response facilities. DK-T8.1: Discharges of contaminants in the water, sediment and living organisms do not lead to exceeding of the environmental quality standards applied in current legislation DK-T8.2: Emissions, discharges and losses of PBDE and Mercury are ceased or phased out DK-T8.11: Up to the next monitoring programme (2020), the Danish Environmental Protection Agency will examine how the adverse effects of the most significant pollution events can be monitored and registered in the specific cases. DK-T8.5: By 2021, a process has been carried out to trace the source of the most polluting substances which prevent meeting the environmental targets laid Down for surface Water bodies in the Water Framework Directive. If necessay, the relevant licences and permits will be revised as far as possible. DK-T8.3: The Ministry of Environment and Food contributes to work regionally and in the EU regarding establishment of threshold values and determination of good environmental status, and works to ensure that the quantities of contaminants are in accorance hereto. |
BALSE-B.1_Tillförsel_farliga_ämnen_halt: B.1. The supply of hazardous substances from human activities shall be reduced until it does not cause levels of dangerous substances which prevent good environmental status from being achieved. B.1 Input of hazardous substances from human activitie...
