Assessment (Art. 8), Good Environmental Status (Art. 9) and Targets (Art. 10)
EU Member States (MS) have reported under Article 17 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) for updating Articles 8, 9 and 10 of the MSFD, for the reporting cycle 2012-2018. This report analyses the information on MSFD Descriptor 10 (Properties and quantities of marine litter do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment). Information has been retrieved from 21 MS out of the 22 EU MS with a sea border.
This report analyses and evaluates the consistency, comparability and adequacy in the elements and parameters concerning the Descriptor 10, the application of methodological standards and the integration of results among MS and European marine regions. The main aim of the present report is to highlight gaps or limitations in current assessment and provides recommendations for improvement in the next MSFD reporting cycle of D10 criteria, GES determination and on the establishment of environmental targets.
