| Integration rule description for criteria |
For species in the demersal fish group, only criterion D1C2 on the abundance of fish populations could be quantitatively reported, based on an indicator of recovery of the abundance of populations of fish species sensitive to fishing pressure (FC1 - OSPAR). The assessment obtained for criterion D...

under development |
The integration method used for the criteria was the following: If 2/3 criteria assessed were ‘good’, the overall status of the species was determined to be ‘good’; if two criteria were assessed and one was determined to be ‘good’ and the other as ‘not good’, the overall status of the species was determined to be as ‘not assessed’; if 2/3 criteria assessed were ‘not good’, the overall status of the species was determined to be ‘not good’. In accordance with the ‘Guidance for Assessments Under Article 8 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive’ integration at species level shall be agreed at Union level taking into account regional or subregional specificities; however, since the majority of the species were found to be in ‘not good’ status, on the basis of expert judgement, GES for both fish and cephalopods is expected to be achieved later than 2020. |
