Justification for non-use of criterion
Preliminary data have assessed existing and potential sources of underwater noise, noise sensitive areas and the potential impact of some noise sources (e.g. military explosions) on species. Criteria D11C1 and D11C2 do not have GES thresholds, no known effects on species, no GES thresholds and no EU level.
Preliminary data have assessed existing and potential sources of underwater noise, noise sensitive areas and the potential impact of some noise sources (e.g. military explosions) on species. Due to the lack of data for criteria D11C1 and D11C2, no GES thresholds, no known effects on species, no GES thresholds at EU level.
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
