Page 1 Fourth Meeting of National Correspondents of the Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean Region (SAP BIO) (Rabat, 1st July 2013) Introduction At their Seventeenth Ordinary Meeting (Paris, France; 8-10 February 2012), the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean and its Protocols, invited the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA) to update the Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean Region (SAP BIO) with the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and Ecosystem approach. After having convened the Third Meeting of National Correspondents of the Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean region (SAP BIO)/MedMPAnet Project Mid-term Workshop in Malaga, Spain (4-6 July 2012), RAC/SPA convened the Fourth Meeting of National Correspondents of SAP BIO. The meeting was organized on 1st July 2013, at the Hotel Golden Tulip Farah Rabat (Place Sidi Makhlouf, 10000 Rabat, Morocco), with the support of the Moroccan authorities. Agenda item 1 Opening of the Meeting The meeting was opened on Monday, 1st July 2013, at 9.00 a.m., by the representatives of the host country, the Coordinating Unit for the Mediterranean Action Plan (UNEP/MAP) and the RAC/SPA. All the SAP BIO National Correspondents of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention had been invited to attend the meeting or to designate their representative(s). Intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations concerned had also been invited to designate their representatives to the meeting as observers. Agenda item 2 Rules of Procedure The internal rules adopted for meetings and conferences of the Contracting Parties to the Convention for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution and its related Protocols (UNEP/IG.43/6, Appendix XI) apply mutatis mutandis to the present meeting.

Page 2 Agenda item 3 Election of Officers The participants unanimously elected the following officers: Chairperson: Dr Leonardo TUNESI Vice-chairpersons: Mr Robert TURK Mr Mehmet GOLGE Rapporteur: Dr Moustafa FOUDA Agenda item 4 - Adoption of the Agenda and organization of work The meeting discussed and adopted the provisional annotated agenda proposed by the Secretariat, circulating as document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.381/1 and annotated in document UNEP(DEPI)/MEDWG.381/2, as well as the schedule proposed at the end of the latter document. The working languages of the meeting were English and French. Simultaneous interpretation was available for all the plenary sessions. Agenda item 5 - Evaluation of the implementation since 2004 of the Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean region (SAP BIO) The Secretariat presented the working document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.381/3, SAP BIO implementation: The first decade and way forward, and the information document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.381/Inf.3, Report on the evaluation and future orientations of the Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean Region (SAP BIO). The Secretariat presented the methodology used to evaluate the important, complex and diverse activities undertaken in the region by the Parties and organizations during the past decade. Activities targeted the preservation of Mediterranean biodiversity, with SAP BIO providing strategic direction. The Secretariat provided detailed explanations of the complex process used to evaluate SAP BIO action: analysis of hundreds of official reports from different countries, other contributions from countries, and some 200 RAC/SPA documents and more than 20 000 scientific and technical documents on Mediterranean marine biodiversity produced during the period under review. On the basis of this documentation, the Secretariat took stock of the progress achieved during the implementation of SAP BIO at regional and national levels, since its adoption in December 2003. The Secretariat showed the way by which implementation fact sheets provided by countries were analysed, allowing the definition of implementation profiles by each country with regard to the main activity axes and specific actions. Graphic displays showed clearly the similarities or differences among different countries in the implementation approach undertaken along the last decade. Also the statistical analysis of the progression in the scientific background supporting conservation in the region was explained to show how the trend evolves with the

Page 3 years. A conspicuous interest in Mediterranean marine biodiversity has taken place in parallel with the SPA/BD Protocol and SAP BIO implementation. Furthermore the quantification of the scientific and technical work of RAC/SPA was illustrated, showing that the main fields of action fitted properly with the activity attended by the Parties from the RAC. The National Correspondents of SAP BIO were then invited to comment on the evaluation process and on other information provided. The participants acknowledged the effort done to analyse that complex information and reach conclusions. Upon the comments of a delegate regarding the doubt that SAP BIO and the SPA/BD Protocol were the reason for an exponential boosting of Parties involvement in increasing the scientific knowledge of Mediterranean biodiversity the secretariat clarified that a cause effect explanation had not been affirmed. However, a mutual benefit among this policy implementation framework and the necessary background knowledge necessary for its functioning was showed by the parallel changes in scientific base increase trends along last two decades showed by the analysis. A related explanation was that scientific funding priorities set by national ministries to research bodies are linked frequently to needs identified by those ministries. With regard to the open seas conservation issues rise as a priority in the region, showed by the analysis results, the European Union delegate recalled that more emphasis must be placed by UNEP MAP in the collaboration with CBD on these topics. He recalled the pending need of a joint workshop on Mediterranean EBSAs with the CBD Secretariat, demanded by the SPA/BD Parties and also offered by the CBD during the MPAs forum held in Antalya, Turkey last November 2012. The representative of France emphasized that the holding of the Mediterranean workshop is essential and must be made in advance of the next CBD SBSTTA. The goal would be the full recognition of Mediterranean areas fulfilling the EBSA criteria validated by the Parties in Hyderabad, and their inclusion in the global repository maintained by the Secretariat of the CBD and forwarded to the General Assembly of the United Nations. The Secretariat confirmed its willing to undertake the common workshop, and recalled that further to the technical contacts taken place among officers of both Conventions, it was the UNEP/MAP Secretariat which was managing the arrangements with the CBD Secretariat for that purpose. Agenda item 6 - Discussion on the updating of SAP BIO in line with the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, taking account of the Ecosystem approach The Secretariat gave some information to the meeting about the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, and about the Ecosystem approach process being implemented within the MAP system, in relation with the SAP BIO needs for updating on those topics.

Page 4 The Secretariat briefed the meeting on the main priorities envisaged for the future updated SAP BIO, and their links to the achievement of the Aichi Priority Targets of the CBD Strategic Plan and the ecosystem approach. Upon kind request by the Secretariat of the UNEP Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), the participants were briefed by its representative on to a similar updating on the activity fields of this convention to keep in line with the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. The representative from the CMS Secretariat highlighted the new draft Strategic Plan on Migratory Species, a new tool for all stakeholders contributing to the conservation of migratory species, which is envisaged to be fully integrated with the Aichi targets for biodiversity. The instrument was of significant relevance to the Barcelona Convention covering many transboundary cetacean, shark, turtle and seabird populations. It was timely that the SAP BIO and Strategic Plan on Migratory Species were being drafted at the same time, creating a good opportunity for strengthened synergies between the instruments. Participants were encouraged to provide input to the UNEP/CMS Secretariat, the deadline being 30 September 2013. The participants were invited to share their expert opinions and experience at national and regional levels to further identify the key needs for Mediterranean biodiversity conservation and management up to 2020 and beyond. In that way, details and several modifications would be brought to the document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.381/3, SAP BIO implementation: The first decade and way forward; in order to present it to the Eleventh Meeting of Focal Points for SPAs (2-5 July 2013) as document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.382/5, SAP BIO implementation: The first decade and way forward (as reviewed by the National Correspondents of SAP BIO). Following discussions, several modifications were introduced to the table of priorities within document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.381/3, to fully accommodate to the Parties representatives willing. The delegate of France remarked that it must be ensured that the follow up in the implementation of SAP BIO is consistent with the results of the ongoing discussion on the governance of the Convention and on the issue of funding mechanisms, Her delegation recalled the rule passed at the last COP of the Barcelona Convention stating that no project can be engaged while an effective financing is not ensured yet. It was important to add a sentence to that effect in the revised draft. She also agreed that in the current context - including the budgetary context - it is important to set priorities: it is essential to strengthen synergies with other relevant organizations in the region or thematic considered (eg : CITES is responsible for the issue of the impact of international trade in endangered species) as the SAP BIO can not carry all the actions defined itself. However, France believes that the socioeconomic and "sustainable development" component aspects should be handled within the SAP BIO because it is an important part of the Barcelona Convention. The delegate of Greece noted that SAP BIO is an official document that should be based on and make reference to officially agreed and adopted decisions taken by the

Page 5 contracting parties of international and regional conventions. In that sense, she questioned the use of the draft MPAs roadmap as a reference for updating SAP BIO, before it being officially adopted by the Contracting Parties to Barcelona Convention. Following exchanges on the above topics, a new chapter related to modalities of implementation was added to the document SAP BIO implementation: The first decade and way forward to produce the revised version to be presented to the SPA focal points meeting as working document UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.382/5, before its further transmission to the MAP Focal Points meeting to be held in Athens on September 2013. Agenda item 7 - Other matters No other question relating to the subjects of the meeting was raised by participants or the Secretariat. Agenda item 8 - Conclusions of the meeting It was decided that the draft report of the meeting would be submitted later to participants for adoption, and that the agreed revision of the document on evaluation of SAP BIO implementation would be presented to the SPA Focal Points meeting for consideration before being transferred to the MAP Focal Points Agenda item 9 - Closure of the meeting The chairperson adjourned the meeting on Monday, 1 st July 2013, at 6.00 p.m.
