Project Activity 2

The aim of this Group of Activities is to help improving the indicator-based reporting of the BSC and facilitate the harmonization process at the regional level toward common understanding of water quality and good environmental status (GES).

In areas where the MSFD applies, the project will act to enable the development of common approaches to marine environment protection that are consistent with the EU legislation principles. The results of the European Commission Task Groups (EC TGs) work on the interpretation of the MSFD Descriptors and development of relevant indicators will be taken onboard. The draft Black Sea Regional Methodology on ‘Water Quality Classification’ will be further developed and proposed to riparian countries for adoption after testing its applicability. After approval of the methodology at the level of the PMA AG of the BSC, the document will be promoted at the level of the BSC to be officially adopted and published on the webpage of the BSC for wider use.

The following activities are planned:

2.1 Facilitating the development of an indicator-based reporting on compliance within the Black Sea countries’ obligations under the Bucharest Conventions;

2.2 Support to the harmonization of national policies, including common understanding of water quality/GES, promotion.
