The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) has a number of reporting obligations through which EU Member States have to inform the European Commission on the implementation of the different phases of the MSFD cycle - the initial assessment, the GES definition, the definition of environmental targets, the definition of monitoring programmes and the programmes of measures-
The European Commission has meanwhile an obligation to assess whether, for each Member State, the elements reported constitute an appropriate framework to meet the requirements of the Directive. The Commission shall also consider the coherence of those frameworks at regional and EU level.
