4 Roles of Decision and MSFD Art 9(1)
MS determine GES Art 9(1) MSFD Tools  consistency  comparison between regions and subregions Decision helps determine GES Sustainable use threshold values

5 Main elements Flexibility Threshold values Timeline & notification
Extent to which GES has been achieved

6 Flexibility Possibility to not use criteria → regional cooperation
Possibility to use other (e.g. RSC) standards or methods Interim: national lists of criteria elements

7 Threshold values Existing or for MS to establish at Union/Regional level Union/Regional process ≠ Union/Regional values → Values set at appropriate scale Principles for setting threshold values, e.g.: → Based on science; regional consistency Interim: national threshold values or trends Indicate need for measures/research/investigation Threshold value ≠ GES

8 Timeline and Notification
2018 OR 2024  Set threshold values and criteria elements Threshold values periodically reviewed and amended if necessary COM informed of threshold values and criteria elements set through Union/Regional process

9 Expressing the extent to which GES is being achieved
