COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 December 2001

pursuant to Council Directive 92/43/EEC

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

This information includes the most recent map of the
site transmitted by the Member State in question, the
site's name, location and extent, and the data yielded by
application of the criteria specified in Annex III (Stage 1)
to Directive 92/43/EEC.

(7)

On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commis-
the Member States
sion in agreement with each of
concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority
natural habitat types or priority species, a list of sites
selected as sites of Community importance should be
adopted.

Given that knowledge of the existence and distribution
of the natural habitat type described as ‘Reefs’ remains
incomplete, the list should be open to alteration in the
light of further developments in such knowledge.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the committee set up by
Article 20 of Directive 92/43/EEC,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas:

Lists of sites proposed as sites of Community impor-
tance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/
43/EEC have been transmitted to the Commission for
the Macaronesian biogeographical region, in accordance
with Article 4(1) of that Directive. The Member States
concerned, namely Portugal and Spain, transmitted the
lists on 28 November 1997 and 11 October 2000
respectively.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by infor-
mation on each site, supplied in the Natura 2000 format
established by Commission Decision 97/266/EC (3).

(1) OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7.
(2) OJ L 305, 8.11.1997, p. 42.
(3) OJ L 107, 24.4.1997, p. 1.
