The Danish presentation of translated parts of Danish language documents on the development of EQS and QS for cadmium, lead, tributyltin, fluoranthene og anthracene in OSPAR and HELCOM resulted in a debate about which target values should be used in the upcoming OSPAR QSR 2023 og HELCOM HOLAS III reports.
After the latest HELCOM ’state and conservation’ meeting on 4th.-8th. october 2021 it was decided to recommend to HELCOMs heads of delegation, that Danish EQS/QS values for cadmium in biota, lead in mussels, fluoranthene and tributyltin in sediment. The recommendation will be discussed in the HELCOM HOD meeting of December 2021.
Discussion under OSPAR resulted in the suggestion to establish a working group with the purpose to define the way National EQS/QS documents could be evaluated and accepted as future target values for the North Sea, but for the QSR 2023, no changes to current criteria will be made based on the Danish suggestions.
