Reporting on socioeconomic aspects in regard to socioeconomic

Reporting on socio-economic aspects in regard to socio-economic assessment & environmental targets under MSFD Lydia MARTIN-ROUMEGAS DG Environment - Marine environment Unit WG POMESA - 30 th January 2017 - Brussels

Guidance for 2012 reporting* update In considering the new Annex III (list of characteristics, pressures and impacts) In considering the new approach of the GES decision revision * European Commission. 2012. Guidance for 2012 reporting under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, using the MSFD database tool. Version 1. 0. DG Environnment, Brussels. pp 164.

Principles & pré-requis on reporting update The second cycle of MSFD is a revision of the first cycle. WG POMESA is only focusing on art. 8. 1. C & 10. Exceptions will not be discussed here. Today first discussion that will shared before decision expected in April 17 This revised reporting & spreadsheets should : • Remove the "un-usefull" • Be more operational & concrete • Be more consistent in using revised GES decision and annex III terminologies • Be S. M. A. R. T

Article 8. 1 c Assessment of an economic and social analysis Analysis of the use of marine waters Type of approach for analysing the uses of marine water Options - Marine waters accounts (by human activity/sector) - Ecosystem Service approach - Other approach Cost of degradation Type of approach for analysing the cost of degradation - Optional : strategic objectives Strategy /national or other scale /Future Projections/future scenari growth plan Thematic/topic approach Ecosystem Service approach Cost based approach Other approach EU, MSFD regional, subregion/national scales

Article 8. 1 c Assessment of an economic and social analysis of use of the marine waters /Human activities – Marine Water account approach Topic Characteristics (Past) Trends Socio-economic indicators Pressures caused by the activity Information gaps Information sought Temporal nature & proportion of area subject to activity Trends in the Activity, From 1 st to 2 nd MSFD cycle Production value Value added Employment Other indicators [add rows for any number of other indicators that have been used] Pressure 1 Pressure 2 Pressure 3 Explain information gaps and plans to address them

Article 8. 1 c Assessment of an economic and social analysis of use of the marine waters / Ecosystems Service Approach Topic Ecosystem approach (repeat row for each ecosystem service assessed) Information sought Provide name of ecosystem service (free text) Information gaps Pressures caused by the activity Give CICES class that this ecosystem service most closely relates to (categorical) Explain information gaps and plans to address them Pressure 1 Pressure 2 Pressures caused by the activity Pressure 3

Article 8. 1 c Assessment of an economic and social analysis of use of the marine waters / Other approaches Topic Other Approaches Theme / category Information sought Provide name of theme/category (free text) (repeat row for each theme/category assessed) Information gaps Pressures caused by the activity Pressure 1 Pressures caused by the activity Pressure 2 Pressures caused by the activity Pressure 3

Article 8. 1 c Cost of degradation of the marine environment Topic Information sought Cost of degradation Overall description of cost of degradation (Indication of the type of costs, and/or expenses and /or loss of benefits due to degradation and consequences to human well-being) Cost based approach – Quantitative & qualitative information Ecosystem service approach- Quantitative & qualitative information Thematic approach – Quantitative & qualitative information Other mixed approach - Quantitative & qualitative information Information gaps Explain information gaps and plan to address them

Good targets are SMART targets !

Targets- general question For revising environmental targets and associated indicators, please indicate how the following have been taken into account: Y/N categorical answers Does MS wish to revise the targets ? Why ? link to measures to targets ? ( review the pre-filled field by EEA) Possibility to delete, revise or maintain the targets and give/confirm the associated measures) Adequate coverage of elements characterising marine waters (Annex 4 -1) Have all relevant elements characterising marine waters been covered by the targets? (Yes, Possibly, No, Unknown) Consistency of the set of targets, absence of conflicts between them (Annex 4 -4) (No, possibly, yes, unknown) Are all targets in the set consistent, with no conflicts between them? (Yes, Possibly, No, Unknown) Resources needed (Annex 4 -5) Have the resources needed for the achievement of targets been specified yet? (Yes, Partly, No, Unknown) Social & economic considerations (Annex 4 -9) Have social and economic concerns been taken into account in the setting of targets? (Yes, Partly, No, Unknown) Adequacy of targets for achieving GES in MS waters (Annex 4 -10) If the set of environmental targets (together with associated indicators, limit and target reference points) is achieved, will this lead to the marine waters under jurisdiction of the Member State within a marine region, achieving a status matching the environmental objectives laid down in Article 1 (*see below)? (Yes, Possibly, No, Unknown) Adequacy of targets for achieving GES in marine environment (Annex 4 -12) If the set of environmental targets (together with associated indicators, limit and target reference points) is achieved, will this lead to the marine environment achieving a status matching the environmental objectives laid down in Article 1 (presumably, on a regional level) (*see below)? (Yes, Possibly, No, Unknown)

Targets Target number Description of target to achieve GES (Annex 4 -3) Timescale for achievement of target (Annex 4 -6) Interim or GES target? Relevant to GES Descriptors (select all that are relevant) Relevant to GES criteria (select all that are relevant) Relevant features, pressures and impacts (select all that are relevant) Baseline used to establish target Target assessment area Type of target (Annex 4 -2) Compatibility with existing targets (national, Community or international) (Annex 4 -11)

Associated indicator to target Indicator number Specific indicators to be used (Annex 4 -7), and qualitative description of threshold value to achieve the target, if appropriate. Threshold value(s) for indicator to achieve target (Quantitative only). Complete either 'Reference point' or 'Limit Reference point'. If the specified quality threshold value(s) will not apply to the whole feature (ecosystem component, pressure/impact) in the assessment area, also provide the proportion (%) of the feature within the area that should achieve the quality value. Baseline/ Reference condition Relevant features, pressures and impacts (select all that are relevant) Indicator assessment area Type of indicator (Annex 4 -2) Development status of indicator Compatibility with other targets/indicators (e. g. national, Community or international) (Annex 4 -11)
