JOHN CARLOS I

KING OF SPAIN

To all who present it and understand it.

Sabed: That the General Courts have approved and I come to sanction the following law.

PREAMBLE

In today's society there has been a significant increase in concerns about the problems relating to the conservation of our natural heritage and our biodiversity. The globalization of environmental problems and the growing perception of the effects of climate change; the progressive depletion of some natural resources; the disappearance, sometimes irreversible, of a great many species of the flora and wildlife, and the degradation of natural spaces of interest, have become a source of serious concern for citizens, who claim their right to a quality environment that ensures their health and well-being. This claim is in line with our Constitution, which, in its article 45, recognizes that everyone has the right to enjoy a suitable environment for the development of the person, as well as the duty to keep it, demanding public authorities to ensure the rational use of all natural resources, in order to protect and improve the quality of life and to defend and restore the environment, building on the need for collective solidarity.

In this framework, this Law establishes the basic legal regime for the conservation, sustainable use, improvement and restoration of the natural heritage and the Spanish biodiversity, as part of the duty to conserve and the objective of to guarantee the rights of people to a suitable environment for their welfare, health and development. The international standards and recommendations which international environmental bodies and regimes, such as the Council of Europe or the Convention on Biological Diversity, have been establishing over the last few years have also been established. In particular, as regards the "Global Work Programme for Protected Areas", which is the first specific initiative at international level aimed at the set of protected natural areas around the world. In the same vein, the Plan of Action of the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, 2002, endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly and subsequently reflected in the Strategic Plan of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Decision VI/26, point 11 of the Conference of the Contracting Parties, set out as a mission " to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction in the current rate of loss of biological diversity, at global, regional and national levels, as contributing to the alleviation of poverty and to the benefit of all forms of life on earth " and Decision VII/30 subsequently approved the operational framework for achieving that objective. At European level, the Communication from the Commission of the European Communities, COM (2006) 216, adopted in May 2006, addressed the relevant instruments to "Stop the loss of biodiversity by 2010 and, at a later stage, support services". The aim is to incorporate the law which, in summary, defines the processes of planning, protection, conservation and restoration, aimed at achieving an increasingly sustainable development of our society which is compatible with the maintenance and enhancement of the natural heritage and the Spanish biodiversity.

To this end, the law establishes that the competent administrations will ensure that the management of natural resources is produced with the greatest benefits for the present generations, without any of their potential for to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations, ensuring the maintenance and conservation of the heritage, biodiversity and natural resources existing throughout the national territory, regardless of their ownership or legal regime, taking into account its orderly use and the restoration of its renewable resources.

The principles that inspire this Law focus, from the perspective of the consideration of the natural heritage itself, on the maintenance of essential ecological processes and basic vital systems, on the preservation of biological, genetic, population and species diversity, and the preservation of the variety, uniqueness and beauty of natural ecosystems, geological diversity and landscape.

While the protection of the landscape is affirmed as one of the principles of this law and in it, specific aspects of landscape policy are regulated, such as the possibility of protecting some of them by means of more (i) the need for the analysis of landscapes to be part of the minimum content of the plans for the management of natural resources, their potential use as an instrument to provide coherence and connectivity to the Natura 2000 network and the promotion of the activities contributing to it protection as a positive externality when it forms part of a protected space, does not intend, however, the present law to be the instrument through which the policies of protection of the landscape will be introduced in Spain as basic legislation of Article 149.1.23, policies whose technical content and general approach, not exempt from paradigmatic value, require the implementation of management tools such as those laid down, as a minimum, in the Convention European Landscape, made in Florence on 20 October 2000, within the Council of Europe and that they will be introduced into the Spanish environmental policy at a later time.

From the perspective of the use of natural heritage, the inspiring principles focus: on the prevalence of environmental protection on spatial and urban planning; on the incorporation of the principle of Caution in interventions that may affect natural spaces and/or wild species; in contributing to promote processes of improvement in the sustainability of the development associated with protected natural spaces; in the promotion of the use the orderly use of resources to ensure the sustainable use of heritage natural; and in the integration of conservation requirements, sustainable use, improvement and restoration of natural heritage and biodiversity in sectoral policies. Finally, it is also a basic principle to guarantee the information and participation of citizens in the design and implementation of public policies, including the development of general provisions aimed at the achievement of the objectives of this Law.

The law comes to repeal and replace Law 4/1989, of March 27, of Conservation of Natural Spaces and of Wild Fauna and Flora which, in turn, in part came from the Law of May 2, 1975, of Natural Spaces Protected, and the successive modifications of that. Law 4/1989 introduced in Spain from an integral perspective, the law of conservation of the internationally homologable nature, consolidating the process begun in the early eighties of the last century through the ratification of multilateral conventions on, inter alia, wetlands, international trafficking of threatened species or migratory and regional species, on European natural heritage at the request of the Council of Europe, and due to the receipt of the acquis On 1 January of the year Spain entered the European Communities on the occasion of the entry into 1986. In the more than thirty years of these rules, a major stage of nature conservation policy has been covered, which has been complemented by the European Habitats Directive and its necessary transposition into Spanish law. This national framework has been articulated by means of autonomous rules which, under the current division of powers between the State and the Autonomous Communities, have allowed a relatively adequate level to be achieved in the necessary conservation of the natural heritage and the Spanish biodiversity, by generalizing the law of conservation of nature, through the enactment of autonomous legislation within the basic framework provided by Law 4/1989. This Law seeks to make progress in this process, which is still perfect, with a better transposition of European legislation and a better articulation which must be a guarantee-towards future generations-of a better heritage. Natural and biodiversity.

Natural heritage and biodiversity play an important social role because of their close links with the health and well-being of people, and their contribution to social and economic development, so this law provides that activities aimed at achieving its aims may be declared to be of public interest or social interest, for all purposes, and in particular to the expropriation of the goods or rights which may result affected. The preference of voluntary agreements with owners and users is also available, in terms of planning and management of protected natural spaces and threatened species. It also lays down the obligation for all public authorities, in their respective fields of competence, to ensure the conservation and rational use of natural heritage throughout the national territory and in the waters under the Spanish sovereignty or jurisdiction, including the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, irrespective of their ownership or legal status, and taking into account in particular the threatened habitats and the wild species under regime of special protection. In addition, the law collects the competencies of the State General Administration on marine biodiversity.

The law states that Public Administrations must be equipped with tools that permit the knowledge of the conservation status of the natural heritage and of the Spanish biodiversity, and the causes that determine its changes; based on This knowledge may be designed to ensure its conservation, integrating in the sectoral policies the objectives and forecasts necessary for the conservation and valuation of natural heritage, the protection of the biodiversity, the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, and the maintenance, and in its case restoration, of the integrity of the ecosystems. It is also the duty of the Public Administrations to promote the participation and activities that contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the law; to identify and eliminate or modify the incentives contrary to the conservation of the patrimony natural and biodiversity; promoting the use of fiscal measures to encourage private conservation initiatives of nature; and promoting education and general information on the need to protect flora and fauna and to preserve their habitats, as well as to enhance public participation, to which the State Council for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity is established.

Additionally, the conservation of natural heritage and biodiversity requires mechanisms for coordination and cooperation between the General Administration of the State and the Autonomous Communities, for which the the obligation to supply each other with the necessary information to ensure that the objectives of this Law are met and, in order to carry out the functions that the National Commission for the Protection of Nature and the new established for this Law, the State Commission for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity is created as an advisory and cooperation body on the protection of natural heritage and biodiversity between the State and the Autonomous Communities, whose reports or proposals shall be submitted for approval or knowledge to the Sectoral Conference Environment.

The set of targets and instruments cited are articulated through six titles and corresponding additional, final and repeal provisions.

The first Title includes the regulation of the precise instruments for knowledge and planning of natural heritage and biodiversity. It is considered, first, the Inventory of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, as an instrument to collect the distribution, abundance, conservation status and the use of this natural heritage, with special attention to the elements that require specific conservation measures, or have been declared of Community interest; in particular, the inventory shall be collected in the various catalogues and inventories defined in this law and a system of indicators for know in a synthetic way the state and evolution of our natural heritage. The Ministry of the Environment, with the help of the Autonomous Communities and the scientific institutions and organizations, will be prepared and updated by the Ministry of the Environment. Based on this Inventory, a report will be produced annually to be presented to the Council and the State Commission for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, and to the Sectoral Environmental Conference, before becoming public.

The second component of the Title first refers to the State Strategic Plan of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, whose purpose is the establishment and definition of objectives, criteria and actions that promote the conservation, sustainable use and, where appropriate, the restoration of heritage, land and marine natural resources and biodiversity. It will incorporate a diagnosis of the situation and the evolution of the natural heritage and of the Spanish biodiversity, the objectives to be achieved during its period of validity and the actions to be carried out by the General Administration of the State, together with the budgetary estimates necessary for its implementation. Prepared by the Ministry of the Environment, in collaboration with the other Ministries and, in particular, with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and Development, it will have the participation of the Autonomous Communities, and will be approved by Council of Ministers. In its development, there may be sectoral plans of the General Administration of the State, in the field of its competences, to integrate the objectives and actions of the State Strategic Plan into the sectoral policies, both in the terrestrial environment as a seafarer, without prejudice to the competition plans of other Departments, to be submitted, where appropriate, to the strategic evaluation of plans and programmes. The elaboration of the sectoral plans will include the consultation of the Autonomous Communities and the sectors involved, and the corresponding strategic environmental assessment. The Council of Ministers, on a joint proposal from the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministries involved, will approve these Sectoral Plans through Royal Decree.

The third component of Title I alludes to the planning of natural resources and maintains as basic instruments the Planning of Natural Resources and the Guidelines for the Management of Resources. Natural, created in Law 4/1989, of March 27, of Conservation of Natural Spaces and of Wild Fauna and Flora, profiling the first as the specific instrument of the Autonomous Communities for delimitation, typification, network integration and determination of its relationship with the rest of the territory, of the systems that integrate the heritage and natural resources of a particular space field. The provisions contained in these plans will constitute a limit to any other instruments of territorial or physical planning, prevailing over the existing ones, an essential condition if the serious deterioration is to be tackled nature has produced the action of man. The Guidelines for the Management of Natural Resources dictated by the Government will establish the basic criteria and standards that must be collected by the Autonomous Communities ' plans for the management and use of natural resources.

All the planning instruments considered in this Title I will necessarily include procedures for public information and consultation with the economic and social agents, the Public Administrations concerned and the non-profit-making organisations pursuing the achievement of the objectives of this Law, as well as, where appropriate, the environmental assessment provided for in Law 9/2006 of 28 April on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes in the medium environment. Additionally, the will of this Law to attend not only to the conservation and restoration, but also to the prevention of the deterioration of the natural spaces, leads to the maintenance of the regimes of preventive protection, as laid down in Law 4/1989, applicable to natural spaces and to the processing of a Plan for the Management of Natural Resources, preventing the execution of acts, or the granting of authorizations, licenses or concessions that enable a transformation to make it impossible to achieve the objectives pursued, if there is no favourable report of the Current administration.

They are incorporated into environmental planning or the Natural Resources Management Plans, the ecological corridors, giving priority to the cattle roads and mountain areas. These ecological corridors should be involved in the establishment of the European and Community network of biological corridors defined by the Pan-European Strategy for Ecological and Landscape Diversity and by the European Territorial Strategy itself. In particular, the Autonomous Communities may use these ecological corridors, or the definition of mountain areas, in order to improve the ecological coherence, functionality and connectivity of the Natura 2000 Network.

Title II includes the cataloging and conservation of habitats and natural heritage sites, focusing primarily on the Catalogation of Endangered Habitats, which will include those whose conservation or Restoration requires specific protection and conservation measures. The habitats considered in the Catalogue must be included in some instrument of management or figure of protection of natural spaces, and have a Plan or instrument of management for conservation and restoration. The Environmental Sector Conference, on a proposal from the State Commission for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, and with the prior report of the State Council for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, will approve Conservation Strategies and Restoration of endangered habitats.

The second chapter of Title II establishes the special regime for the protection of natural spaces, based on the definition of Law 4/1989, of March 27, with the specific incorporation of Marine Protected Areas, and the creation of the network of marine protected areas, in line with the guidelines of the European Union, as well as the possibility of creating protected natural spaces across borders. The law maintains the figure, definition and protection regimes of the Parks and the Natural Reserves of Law 4/1989, of March 27, adapting the definition of the Protected Landscapes to the Convention of the Landscape of the Council of Europe. The declaration and management of protected natural areas shall in any event be the responsibility of the Autonomous Communities in whose territory they are located. For these spaces the present law maintains the possibility of creating peripheral areas of protection, the declaration of public utility, for the expropriation of the goods and rights affected, as well as the faculty of the competent administration for the exercise of the rights of tanteo and retraction.

The third chapter of Title II focuses on the European Ecological Network Natura 2000, composed of the Places of Community Importance, the Special Areas of Conservation and the Areas of Special Protection for Birds. These spaces will have the consideration of protected spaces, with the specific designation of protected spaces Network Natura 2000, with the scope and limitations that the Autonomous Communities establish in their legislation and in the corresponding Planning instruments. The Autonomous Communities shall define these spaces and shall give the Ministry of the Environment its own account for the purpose of its communication to the European Commission, as well as the necessary conservation measures, which will involve appropriate measures. regulatory, administrative or contractual, and ensure their inclusion in appropriate plans or instruments, which meet the ecological requirements of the natural habitat types and species present in such areas, monitoring the state of conservation and forwarding information to the Ministry of the Environment, to present the report every six years to the European Commission. The definition of such spaces shall be made in accordance with the criteria laid down in Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, which has been the subject of transposition by regulatory range rule.

To ensure the preservation of the values that have resulted in the definition of these zones, the corresponding channels are established, so that any plan, program or project that, without having direct relation to the the management of a Natura 2000 network, or without it being necessary for it, can be significantly affected by such sites, either individually or in combination with other plans, programmes or projects, subject to appropriate evaluation of their impact on the site, in such a way that the corresponding Autonomous Communities only demonstrate compliance with that plan, programme or project after having ensured that it does not prejudice the integrity of the place in question and, where appropriate, after having submitted it to public information. In this regard, it is accepted that the plan, programme or project may be carried out, despite causing injury, if there are compelling reasons of public interest of a first order which, for each particular case, have been declared by law or by means of the agreement, reasoned and public, of the Council of Ministers or the Governing Body of the Autonomous Community. Finally, it is established that only the total or partial decataloging of a space included in the Natura 2000 network can be proposed when justified by the changes brought about by the natural evolution, and prior information processing public.

The fourth chapter of Title II focuses on areas protected by international instruments in accordance with, and in compliance with, the relevant international conventions and agreements (wetlands of International Importance, Natural Sites of the World Heritage List, Marine Protected Areas of the Northeast Atlantic, Especially Protected Areas of Importance for the Mediterranean (ZEPIM), Geoparks, Council Biogenetic Reserves In the case of the Environment Ministry, the Ministry of the Environment, with the participation of The Autonomous Communities, in the framework of the State Strategic Plan of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, will draw up conservation guidelines, which must be approved by agreement of the Sectoral Environmental Conference, in parallel with those of the Natura 2000 Network, as a guiding framework for the planning and management of these spaces.

Title III focuses on the Conservation of Wildlife Biodiversity, establishing an obligation for the Autonomous Communities to take the necessary measures to ensure the conservation of biodiversity living in wild status, preferably taking into account the preservation of their habitats and establishing specific protection regimes for those wild species where the situation so requires. It is prohibited to introduce aloctonous species when they are susceptible to compete with the native species, to alter their genetic purity or ecological balances, as well as to give death, to damage, to disturb or to disturb intentionally to the wild animals; the possession, transport, trafficking and trade of live or dead specimens is also prohibited.

The List of Species in Special Protection Regime is created with the effect that the inclusion of a taxon or population therein will result in the periodic evaluation of its conservation status and the prohibition of affecting negatively to their situation. Within the List of Species in Special Protection Regime, the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species shall be established, which shall include, where technical or scientific information is available, the endangered taxa or populations, which are include in the "endangered" or "vulnerable" categories, depending on the risk to their survival. The inclusion of a taxon or population in the category of "endangered" may result in the designation of critical areas that may be included in the Spanish Catalogue of Habitats in Danger of Disappearance, and the obligation is maintained, collected In Law 4/1989, of March 27, to draft a recovery plan to ensure its conservation. For this plan, as in general for the rest of the management plans and instruments referred to in the law, a maximum period of three years is given and the obligation to finance the same by the Government, through the Fund for the Heritage Natural and Biodiversity. The "vulnerable" will be acted on in a similar way, although the deadline is extended to a maximum of five years.

The Environmental Sector Conference, on a proposal from the State Commission for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, will approve the Endangered Species Conservation Strategies, which will be the guiding framework of the Recovery and conservation plans to be developed and approved by the Autonomous Communities in the land field.

In addition to the "in situ" conservation actions, for the species included in the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species, the law establishes, in the second chapter of this Title III, the obligation to promote development of breeding or propagation programmes outside their natural habitat, in particular where such programmes have been provided for in the Conservation Strategies, or in the Recovery or Conservation Plans. Similarly, in order to preserve the genetic and biological heritage of wild species and to integrate "ex situ" and "in-situ" operations into conservation programmes, the law establishes that public administrations will promote the the existence of a network of banks of biological and genetic material and a Spanish Inventory of Biological and Genetic Material Banks of Wild Species, in which all available data will be included.

The third chapter of Title III focuses on the growing problem of invasive species derived from the globalization of trade of all kinds, creating the Spanish Catalogue of Invasive Alien Species, in which include all invasive alien species and subspecies which are, in fact, or likely to constitute a serious threat to indigenous species, habitats or ecosystems, agronomy, or to economic resources associated with the use of natural heritage.

The fourth chapter of Title III regulates the protection of species in relation to hunting and fishing which, as a condition for the use of natural resources, must be guaranteed, but limiting their application to the spaces, dates, trapping methods and species to be determined by the Autonomous Communities, which shall in no case include species in the List of Species of Special Interest, or methods or species prohibited by the European Union. The Spanish Hunting and Fishing Inventory shall maintain the information of the populations, catches and genetic evolution of the species whose hunting or fishing is authorised, with particular attention to the migratory species.

With regard to the Catalogues, Listados and Inventories of State-level regulated in the Law, it should be noted that, in its configuration, two typical models of our legal system have been followed: first, those that have a essentially informative character and which are elaborated with the data provided by the Autonomous Communities, as is the case of the Spanish Inventory of Banks of Biological and Genetic Material of Wild Species, or the Spanish Inventory of Hunting and Fisheries; secondly, there are those who are not limited to centralising information It is not only the case of the Autonomous Communities but also a necessary instrument to ensure that the objectives inherent in the basic legislation are met in a complementary manner; this model, which is used by Law 4/1989, March 27, to configure the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species and which was supported by the Constitutional Court in its Judgment 102/1995-, is reserved exclusively for those categories of spaces or species whose state of conservation presents a higher degree of threat or deterioration and, consequently, for which it is necessary to ensure minimum and uniform standards for the entire territory, which ensure the correct protection and restoration or recovery of these spaces and species; such is the case of the Catalogue of Habitats in Danger of Disappearance or the List of Species in Special Protection Regime, which includes the cited Catalogue of Endangered Species.

Title IV focuses on the promotion of the sustainable use of natural heritage and biodiversity, with a first chapter focused on the Spanish Biosphere Reserves, which constitute a subset of the Global Network of Reserves of the Biosphere, of the MaB Program (Person and Biosphere) of UNESCO. The regulation, characterization and enhancement of these Biosphere Reserves is based on the fact that they constitute an integrated, participatory and sustainable management model of heritage and natural resources, with the basic objectives of to combine the preservation of biological biodiversity and ecosystems, with environmentally sustainable development that will improve the well-being of the population, enhancing public participation, research, and education in the integration between development and the environment, and training in new ways to improve this integration.

Chapter 2 of Title IV regulates access to genetic resources from wild taxa and the sharing of benefits arising from their use, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Diversity Biological and its development instruments and, where appropriate, in the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture of the World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The third chapter covers international trade in wild species, adapting its development to the principles of sustainability and, in accordance with international law, in particular the Convention on International Trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture of the World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Community legislation on the protection of endangered species by means of control of trade. Finally, the fourth chapter of this Title focuses on the applicable aspects of the same Convention on Biological Diversity and the World Intellectual Property Organization, on the promotion of traditional knowledge for the Conservation of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity.

Title V includes specific provisions aimed at promoting knowledge, conservation and restoration of natural heritage and biodiversity, incorporating the creation of the Natural Heritage Fund and the Biodiversity, which will act as a co-financing instrument aimed at ensuring territorial cohesion and the achievement of the objectives of this Law, in particular the elaboration within three years of the management plans and instruments The Commission has also been able to take the necessary steps to ensure that the Commission is able to sustainable forestry, the strategic prevention of forest fires, the custody of the territory and the protection of natural and forest areas in which the General Administration of the State participates; the concession is also included aid to non-profit-making associations at the State level, for the development of actions whose main purpose is to preserve, restore and improve the natural heritage and biodiversity; and Autonomous communities for the establishment of incentives to the positive externalities of the land that is located in protected declared spaces.

As an essential element of the application of European principles and directives in the field of natural heritage and biodiversity (prevention better than cure; the polluter pays; precautionary principle; ...), Title VI contains the general provisions, classification and classification of infringements and the classification and limitation of the corresponding penalties, as well as the prevalence of criminal liability on administrative matters.

With regard to the reference to regulatory norms that are made in different articles of the law for its development, it should be noted that in certain cases it is the approval of instruments planners by real In addition to the objectives of this Law, which, by their very nature, they require a certain binding force and, at the same time, an agile procedure of amendment allowing their adaptation to the law of the changing reality; and in other cases these are issues of administrative or instrument organisation (e.g. the operation of the catalogues, the composition of the cooperation and coordination bodies or the Natural Heritage Fund) whose detailed regulation in the law would give them excessive rigidity.

Finally, the law provides an additional provision for the exercise of the State's powers over spaces, habitats and marine species.

The fishing resources are excluded from the scope of the Law, since their protection, conservation and regeneration, as well as the regulation and management of the fishing activity of the same are the exclusive competence of the State in maritime fisheries in external waters, if subject to the incorporation of environmental measures, in accordance with Article 130 of the Treaty establishing the European Union, as well as Article 6 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, made in Rio de Janeiro on 5 June 1992.

Thus, reference is made to the application of Law 3/2001, in all matters relating to the protection, conservation and regeneration of fishery resources, because the measures it integrates and the marine environment to which it is based, In the case of "sea fishing", which is attributed to the State solely by Article 149.1.19. of the Constitution (STC 38/2002, FJ 11).

In addition, a safeguard of the merchant marine powers provided for in Law 27/1992, of 24 November, of Ports of the State and of the Merchant Navy, attributed to the State by Article 149.1.20. Constitution, as stated by the Constitutional Court in its judgment 40/1998.

Therefore, the Law does not affect the competences relating to the protection of the marine environment and the prevention and control of pollution, attributed to the Ministry of Public Works in everything related to what the Constitutional Court calls sea-sea discharges.

Additional provision regulates additional conservation measures at the local level and the third excludes plant genetic resources and zoogenetics for agriculture and food from the scope of this Law. and fishery resources, to the extent that they are regulated by their specific rules.

Another additional provision regulates the replacement of the National Forest Council and the National Nature Protection Commission by the respective Council and State Commission for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity.

The additional fifth provision reproduces the content of Law 4/1989, of 27 March, in respect of the Government's ability to establish temporary limitations in relation to activities governed by law, for the compliance with the international treaties and conventions of which Spain is a party; and the additional sixth regulates the regime of the ICN-MED.

With regard to the transitional provisions, the first establishes that the species included in the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species will maintain their classification, with the effects established by the regulations in force in the the moment of entry into force of this Law, as long as the adaptation to it does not occur; and the second transitional provision establishes deadlines and mechanisms of financing of the plans and instruments of management contemplated in the law.

The inclusion of eight annexes incorporating the content of Council Directive 79 /409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds and Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 December 1979 on the conservation of wild birds is also included. May 1992, on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, duly updated.

(1) The methods used will be standardised. Alternative methods may be used as long as the limits of quantification, accuracy and accuracy are guaranteed, which are listed in the table and do not have any non-correctable interference with substances that may be be in the middle at the same time with the parameter analyzed.

(2) The limit of quantification is understood to be the smallest quantitatively determinable quantity in a sample on the basis of a working procedure as it can still be distinguished from zero. The indicated percentage refers to the percentage of the quality target set for each pollutant.

Annex III

Control Procedures

Without prejudice to the existing legislation, the control of the substances in Annex I shall be carried out taking into account the following:

1. The samples shall be taken at points close enough to the discharge so that they can be representative of the quality of the aquatic environment in the area affected by the discharges.

2. The values of heavy metals shall be expressed as total metal

3. The concentrations of the pollutants in sediment shall be determined in the fine fraction, less than 63 mm, over dry weight. In cases where the nature of the sediment does not allow the analysis to be carried out on that fraction, the concentration of the pollutants at the bottom of 2 mm on dry weight shall be determined.

4. Biota concentrations shall be determined by wet weight, preferably in mussel (Mytilus sp), oyster or clam.

5. The controls in the water matrix shall be carried out at least on a seasonal basis. However, the frequency of checks may be reduced on the basis of technical criteria based on the results obtained in previous years.

6. Analytical determinations in sediment and/or biota shall be carried out at least annually. '

ANNEX III

Criteria for the selection of sites that can be classified as sites of Community importance and designated special areas of Conservation

Stage 1: Assessment at national level of the relative importance of the sites for each type of natural habitat in Annex I and each species in Annex II (including priority natural habitat types and species) priority).

A. Criteria for the assessment of the site for a given type of natural habitat in Annex I.

a) Degree of representativeness of the type of natural habitat in relation to the site.

(b) Area of the site covered by the type of natural habitat in relation to the total area covered by this type of natural habitat with regard to the national territory.

c) Degree of conservation of the structure and functions of the natural habitat type concerned and the possibility of restoration.

d) Overall assessment of the value of the site for the conservation of the natural habitat type in question.

B. Criteria for the assessment of the site for a given species in Annex II.

(a) Size and density of the population of the species present at the site in relation to the populations present in the national territory.

b) Degree of conservation of habitat elements that are relevant to the species concerned and the possibility of restoration.

c) Degree of isolation of the existing population at the site in relation to the natural distribution area of the species.

(d) Overall assessment of the value of the site for the conservation of the species concerned.

C. According to these criteria, the competent public authorities shall classify the places they propose in the national list as places which can be classified as 'of Community importance', according to their relative value for the conservation of each one of the types of natural habitat or of each of the species listed in the respective Annexes I or II, which refer to them.

D. That list shall include the sites where the priority natural habitat types and priority species have been selected by the competent public administrations in accordance with the criteria listed in paragraphs A and B.

Stage 2: Assessment of the community importance of the sites included in the national lists

1. All sites defined by the competent public administrations in Stage 1 where there are natural habitat types and/or priority species shall be considered as sites of Community importance.

2. For the assessment of the Community importance of the other places included in the lists of competent public administrations, that is, their contribution to the maintenance or restoration of a favourable conservation status for a natural habitat in Annex I or a species in Annex II and/or to the coherence of Natura 2000, the following criteria shall be taken into account:

a) The relative value of the place at the national level.

(b) The geographical location of the site in relation to the migratory pathways of species in Annex II, as well as their possible membership of a coherent ecosystem situated on one or the other side of one or more internal borders of the Community.

c) The total area of the place.

(d) The number of natural habitat types in Annex I and of Annex II species existing at the site.

e) The overall ecological value of the site for the biogeographical region or regions concerned and/or for the whole of the territory referred to in Article 2, both for the characteristic or unique aspect of the elements they integrate it as a combination of those elements.
