Amending list of species codes Following the described procedure is important as deliveries with non-valid species codes will not be accepted by the CDR Additional species codes and species names will only be attributed for new species; not for synonyms of already included species (nationally used synonyms can be provided in addition to the recommended name) SPECIES CODELIST The valid codes and names for Habitats Directive species as indicated in the Article 17 check list The valid codes and names to be used for additional optional reports for distinct species of Cladonia subgenus Cladina, Lycopodium spp. and Sphagnum The valid codes and names to be used for additional optional reports for distinct species for which a joint report is expected
