DATA & METHOD USED• Art 17 data of 2001-2006• Excluded: species listed in Annex V only Atlantic region: 120 habitat types and 226 species covered
o birds data not in the analysis
• Clustering of habitat types and species– so called “Baseline grouping” used as a basis to
produce adjusted habitat grouping for Atlantic region (as for the Pilot Seminar)
– some habitat types & species may appear in 2 different groups

How the results were calculated?1. Criteria for prioritization• Number of MS where species/habitat types are present
(criterion A)• Species and habitat types at unfavourable conservation
status (criterion B)• Negative trend using certain parameters (criterion C)
2. Filtering species and habitat types: - priority index calculated using A(B + C) for each species
and habitat type

Test to use weighting(tested for the Pilot Boreal Seminar)
• Tested for conclusions of unfavourable conservation status (criterion B) & trend information (criterion C)
• No major changes in results, but potential constraints detected

OTHER SUPPORTING ELEMENTSAlready available (see table under section 5):• Positive trend
• Coverage of Natura 2000 network for the habitat types and species
Will be made available:• Information on pressures/habitat group
• Conclusion of CS and parameters “area” & “structure and functions” (habitat types) and “population” & “habitat for the species” (species)
• Information sheets for selected habitat types

Questions to the Atlantic Steering Committee?• Do you agree on the method proposed? If yes,
which algorithm to use, A*B or A(B+C)?
• Do you agree: Annex IV species are covered in the analysis, but species listed only in Annex V are excluded in the analysis?
• Do you want to delete species and habitat types which occur only in one Member State from the analysis?
• To agree how to include Birds: Annex I bird species or more?
