Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken:
During the first half of 2022, CCB organized and held a coordination process going among EU NGOs. Several meetings were setup with DG Env marine team on the MSFD review and evaluation process and linked initiatives such as the Action Plan for fisheries and the new nature restoration law. CCB and cooperation NGOs views are known to the core team in the Commission.
What challenges have you encountered in implementing this Resolution and what measures have you taken to overcome them?:
Progress was made on getting EU wide NGOs agree on an approach to work through concrete proposals for updating the Directive. However, after the summer, DG Environment announced that the process to review and potentially update the legal text of the MSFD was postponed towards 2025. This meant that that part of CCBs activities and intended output was put on hold.
