It is proposed to maintain the objective, improving the wording.
It is proposed to modify the indicator in a way that is quantifiable, and to add another concerning the proportion of compatibility reports on existing installations.

Very generic indicator.
It is proposed to change the wording of the target in order to make it more specific and linked to the BEA, and that of the indicator, as it is very generic and does not correspond strictly to the objective. The indicator could be in line with the number of measures taken for each human action that causes physical alterations.

Los EIA tienen en cuenta las alteraciones en las condiciones hidrográficas, especialmente en lo que afecta a la dinámica litoral.
Se propone mantener el objetivo y el indicador, dado que siguen siendo fundamentales para lograr el BEA del D7.

Target achieved
All Member State documents are publicly available on MITECOâs website.
However, it can be improved.
For the second cycle, it is proposed to specify and extend the target audience, so as to improve access to information on the marine environment available to all maritime administrations and institutions, as well as to the general public.

Progress is detected on the monitoring of river basin variability but no alert system has yet been established.
The objective and the indicator overlap. It is proposed to change the wording of the target so as to make it more general, and its compliance can be measured by the indicator.
