SCHEDULE II Substituted by: L.N. 162 of 2009; L.N. 322 of 2013.

ANIMAL AND PLANT SPECIES OF COMMUNITY INTEREST WHOSE CONSERVATION REQUIRES THE DESIGNATION OF SPECIAL AREAS OF CONSERVATION Interpretation

Schedule II follows on from Schedule I for the establishment of a consistent special areas of conservation of international importance.

species listed in this Schedule are indicated: the Scientific name of the species or subspecies, or all the species belonging to a higher taxon or to a designated part of that taxon. required, scientific synonyms of each species or lower taxon are included after the scientific name. These are included to facilitate interpretation of information provided.

references to taxa higher than genus and/or species are for the purposes of classification only.

Symbols and Abbreviations An asterisk (*) before the name of a species or subspecies indicates that is a priority species. The abbreviation 'spp.' after the name of a family or genus designates all the species belonging to that family or genus. Most species listed in this schedule are also listed in Schedule V. Where species appears in this Schedule but does not appear in either Schedule V or Schedule VII, the species name is followed symbol (o); where a species which appears in this schedule in Schedule V but does not appear in Schedule VII, its name by the symbol (V).

(a) Schedule III follows on from Schedule I for the establishment network of special areas of conservation of national importance.

(b) The species listed in this Schedule are indicated: • by the Scientific name of the species or subspecies, accompanied, available, by Maltese and English vernacular names of the or subspecies, or • by all the species belonging to a higher taxon or to a designated that taxon. Where required, scientific synonyms of each species or lower taxon in square brackets after the scientific name. These are included interpretation of the scientific information provided. Other references to taxa higher than genus and/or species are for the information or classification only.

(c) A number of scientific names are followed by the abbreviations Melit.’ which refers to the scientific name(s) with which that particular or was recorded in Maltese biodiversity literature; this scientific name legal value, since in some cases, it represents the only reference to proper scientific identification is still uncertain.

(d) Symbols and Abbreviations • The abbreviation 'spp.' after the name of a family or genus the species belonging to that family or genus. • The abbreviation "(s.l.)", meaning ‘sensu lato’ is used the scientific name is used in its most extended meaning.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING SITES ELIGIBLE FOR IDENTIFICATION SITES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND DESIGNATION AS SPECIAL AREAS CONSERVATION

STAGE 1: Assessment at national level of the relative importance of natural habitat type in Schedule I and each species in Schedule (including priority natural habitat types and priority species).

A. site assessment criteria for a given natural habitat type in Schedule Degree of representativity of the natural habitat type on the site.

Area of the site covered by the natural habitat type in relation to the total area covered by that natural habitat type within Malta.

Degree of conservation of the structure and functions of the natural habitat type concerned and restoration possibilities.

Global assessment of the value of the site for conservation of the natural habitat type concerned.

Site assessment criteria for a given species in Schedule II

Size and density of the population of the species present on the site in relation to the populations present within Malta.

Degree of conservation of the features of the habitat, which are important for the species concerned, and restoration possibilities.

Degree of isolation of the population present on the site in relation to the natural range of the species.

Global assessment of the value of the site for conservation of the species concerned.

Site assessment criteria for a given species in Schedule III shall be the internationally recognised threat status of such species.

the basis of these criteria, the competent authority will classify the sites, which it proposed on the national list as sites eligible for identification as sites of National Importance and of International Importance according to their relative value for the conservation of each natural habitat type in Schedule I or each species in Schedule II or III.

That list will show the sites containing the priority natural habitat types and priority species selected by the competent authority on the basis of the criteria in A and B above.

Assessment of the national and international importance of the sites included on the national lists.

the sites identified by the competent authority in Stage 1, which contain priority natural habitat types, and/or species will be considered as sites of National Importance and of International Importance.

The assessment of the national and international importance of other sites, their contribution to maintaining or re-establishing, at a favourable conservation status, a natural habitat in Schedule I or a species in Schedule or III and/or to the coherence of the National Ecological Network and the Pan-European Ecological Network will take account of the following criteria:

(a) relative value of the site at national level;

(b) geographical situation of the site in relation to migration species in Schedule II and III;

(c) total area of the site;

(d) number of natural habitat types in Schedule I Schedule II or III present on the site;

(e) global ecological value of the site for the biogeographical concerned, as regards both the characteristic of unique aspect and the way they are combined.
