Artikolu 14

Eċċezzjonijiet

1.  Stat Membru jista’ jidentifika każijiet fi ħdan l-ilmijiet marini tiegħu fejn, għal kwalunkwe raġuni elenkata taħt il-punti (a) sa (d), il-miri ambjentali jew l-istatus ambjentali tajjeb ma jistgħux jintlaħqu f’kull aspett permezz ta’ miżuri meħuda minn dak l-Istat Membru, jew, għal raġunijiet imsemmija taħt il-punt (e), dawn ma jistgħux jintlaħqu fl-iskeda ta’ żmien konċernata:

(a) azzjoni jew nuqqas ta’ azzjoni li għalihom l-Istat Membru konċernat ma jkunx responsabbli;

(b) kawżi naturali;

(ċ)  force majeure;

(d) modifiki jew alterazzjonijiet fil-karatteristiċi fiżiċi ta’ l-ilmijiet marini kkawżati minn azzjonijiet meħuda minħabba raġunijiet ta’ interess pubbliku prevalenti li jissuperaw l-impatt negattiv fuq l-ambjent, inkluż kwalunkwe impatt transkonfinali;

(e) kondizzjonijiet naturali li ma jippermettux titjib f’ħin opportun fl-istatus ta’ l-ilmijiet marini konċernati.

L-Istat Membru konċernat għandu jidentifika każijiet bħal dawn b’mod ċar fil-programm tiegħu ta’ miżuri u għandu jissostanzja l-veduti tiegħu lill-Kummissjoni. Fl-identifikazzjoni ta’ każijiet, Stat Membru għandu jikkunsidra l-konsegwenzi għall-Istati Membri fir-Reġjun jew Sub-Reġjun Marin konċernat.

Madankollu, l-Istat Membru konċernat għandu jieħu miżuri ad hoc adegwati bl-għan li jkompli jfittex jilħaq il-miri ambjentali, sabiex jipprevjeni deterjorament ulterjuri fl-istatus ta’ l-ilmijiet marini milqutin għal raġunijiet identifikati taħt il-punti (b), (ċ) jew (d) u sabiex itaffi l-impatt ħażin fil-livell tar-Reġjun jew Sub-Reġjun Marin konċernat jew fl-ilmijiet marini ta’ Stati Membri oħra.

2.  Fis-sitwazzjoni koperta mill-punt (d) tal-paragrafu 1, l-Istati Membri għandhom jiżguraw li l-modifiki jew l-alterazzjonijiet ma jeskludux jew ma jikkompromettux b’mod permanenti l-kisba ta’ status ambjentali tajjeb fil-livell tar-Reġjun jew Sub-Reġjun Marin konċernat. jew fl-ilmijiet marini ta’ Stati Membri oħra.

3.  Il-miżuri ad hoc imsemmijin fit-tielet subparagrafu tal-paragrafu 1 għandhom jiġu integrati sa fejn ikun prattikabbli fil-programmi ta’ miżuri.

4.  L-Istati Membri għandhom jiżviluppaw u jimplimentaw l-elementi kollha ta’ l-Istrateġiji Marini msemmija fl-Artikolu 5(2), iżda m’għandhomx ikunu meħtieġa, ħlief fir-rigward ta’ l-evalwazzjoni inizjali deskritta fl-Artikolu 8, jieħdu passi speċifiċi fejn ma jkun hemm l-ebda riskju sinifikanti għall-ambjent marin, jew fejn l-ispejjeż ikunu sproporzjonati b’kont meħud tar-riskji għall-ambjent marin, u dan sakemm ma jkunx hemm aktar deterjorament.

Fejn, għal xi waħda minn dawn ir-raġunijiet, Stat Membru ma jieħu ebda pass, għandu jipprovdi lill-Kummissjoni bil-ġustifikazzjoni meħtieġa sabiex jissostanzja d-deċiżjoni tiegħu, filwaqt li jevita li jiġi permanentement kompromess il-ksib ta’ status ambjentali tajjeb.

1. Ħarsa ġenerali

,
Article 14 1.

A Member State may identify instances within its marine waters where, for any of the reasons listed under points (a) to (d), the environmental targets or good environmental status cannot be achieved in every aspect through measures taken by that Member State, or, for reasons referred to under point (e), they cannot be achieved within the time schedule concerned:

(a) 

action or inaction for which the Member State concerned is not responsible;

(b) 

natural causes;

(c) 

force majeure;

(d) 

modifications or alterations to the physical characteristics of marine waters brought about by actions taken for reasons of overriding public interest which outweigh the negative impact on the environment, including any transboundary impact;

(e) 

natural conditions which do not allow timely improvement in the status of the marine waters concerned.

The Member State concerned shall identify such instances clearly in its programme of measures and shall substantiate its view to the Commission. In identifying instances a Member State shall consider the consequences for Member States in the marine region or subregion concerned.

However, the Member State concerned shall take appropriate ad-hoc measures aiming to continue pursuing the environmental targets, to prevent further deterioration in the status of the marine waters affected for reasons identified under points (b), (c) or (d) and to mitigate the adverse impact at the level of the marine region or subregion concerned or in the marine waters of other Member States.
Article 14 2.
In the situation covered by paragraph 1(d), Member States shall ensure that the modifications or alterations do not permanently preclude or compromise the achievement of good environmental status at the level of the marine region or subregion concerned or in the marine waters of other Member States.
Article 14 3.
The ad-hoc measures referred to in the third subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be integrated as far as practicable into the programmes of measures.
Article 14 4.
Member States shall develop and implement all the elements of marine strategies referred to in Article 5(2), but shall not be required, except in respect of the initial assessment described in Article 8, to take specific steps where there is no significant risk to the marine environment, or where the costs would be disproportionate taking account of the risks to the marine environment, and provided that there is no further deterioration.

Where, for either of these reasons, a Member State does not take any steps, it shall provide the Commission with the necessary justification to substantiate its decision, while avoiding that the achievement of good environmental status be permanently compromised.
