This new publication covers Frequently Asked Questions about links between the MSFD and the implementation of the Habitat and Birds Directive (resp. 92/43/EEC and 2009/147/EC). The document aims to identify and clarify, interactions, synergies, differences and potential areas for greater co-ordination between these instruments concerning the conservation of marine biodiversity. It has benefitted from the joint input of Member States dealing with the implementation of the directives.
