The Commission shall present a report on the main findings of the evaluation to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the Committee of Regions. Where the Commission finds it appropriate, the report shall be accompanied by a legislative proposal for amendment of relevant provisions of this Regulation, taking into account the need to establish additional restoration targets, including on updated targets for 2040, based on common methods for assessing the condition of ecosystems not covered by Articles 4 and 5, and the most recent scientific evidence.

RemovedAnnex III – title: MARINE SPECIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 5(3) AND DIADROMOUS SPECIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 4(3)

RemovedAnnex III – point 25 a (new): (25a) European eel (Anguilla anguilla);

RemovedLIST OF BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS FOR FOREST ECOSYSTEMS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 10(2)

RemovedLIST OF BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS FOR FOREST ECOSYSTEMS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 10(2)

RemovedAnnex VII – point 14 a (new): (14a) Reduce forest vulnerability by means of landscape-scale interventions (e.g. by reducing tree density, ensuring presence of forest openings and gaps and favouring heterogeneous forest structure).

RemovedAnnex VII – point 22 a (new): (22a) Promote integrated landscape restoration as a long-term planning tool linking bottom-up methods involving stakeholders with top-down strategies that considers the timescale and required commitment.

RemovedAnnex VII – point 22 b (new): (22 b) Buffer sensitive ecosystems against eutrophication, desiccation and other pressures.

RemovedAnnex VII – point 27 a (new): (27a) Implement passive and assisted natural regeneration of marine areas where possible, with appropriate buffer zones with low-impact activities.

RemovedAnnex VII – point 28: (28) Reduce various forms of marine pollution, such as nutrient loading, plastic waste and underwater noise pollution , both impulsive and continuous.

RemovedAnnex VII – point 28 a (new): (28a) Reduce continuous underwater noise pollution from shipping by mandating reduced vessel speeds, and prevent or reduce impulsive noise pollution through effective mitigation measures that minimise sound levels at source.

RemovedAnnex VII – point 28 b (new): (28b) Restore marine ecosystems damaged by industrial activities, such as hydrocarbon exploration, including seismic acquisition, and exploitation activities.
