• Seis sub-objectivos e 20 acções associadas– Action 5 of the Biodiversity Strategy requires Member States,

with the assistance of the Commission, to map and assess the state of ecosystems and their services in their national territory by 2014, assess the economic value of such services, and promote the integration of these values into accounting and reporting systems at EU and national level by 2020"
