1.1.4. Revision of the Strategy

The suggested time horizon of this Strategy is six years, to be concluded in 2018-2019, when
a comprehensive review of the Strategy’s accomplishments and failures, with a consideration
for potential actions to be taken beyond 2019, should be conducted. Such timing also
coincides with the process requiring EU Member States to report concerning the Habitats
and Marine Strategy Framework Directives, thereby facilitating the implementation of the
Strategy’s actions by such States.

A mid-term assessment of the implementation results in 2016 is also recommended, to
evaluate up-to-date attainment of Goals and Objectives within the Strategy’s timeframe and
to identify, if needed, moderate adjustments.
