(UE) 2016/2328 De La Commission Du 9 Décembre 2016 Arrêtant Une Dixième Actualisation De La Liste De 23.12.2016 FR Journal officiel de l'Union européenne L 353/1 II (Actes non législatifs) DÉCISIONS DÉCISION D’EXÉCUTION (UE) 2016/2328 DE LA COMMISSION du 9 décembre 2016 arrêtant une dixième actualisation de la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne [notifiée sous le numéro C(2016) 8142] LA COMMISSION EUROPÉENNE, vu le traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne, vu la directive 92/43/CEE du Conseil du 21 mai 1992 concernant la conservation des habitats naturels ainsi que de la faune et de la flore sauvages (1), et notamment son article 4, paragraphe 2, troisième alinéa, considérant ce qui suit: (1) Conformément à la carte biogéographique approuvée le 20 avril 2005 par le comité institué par l’article 20 de la directive 92/43/CEE (ci-après dénommé «comité “Habitats”»), la région biogéographique méditerranéenne visée à l’article 1er, point c) iii), de ladite directive est composée du territoire UE de la Grèce, de Chypre, conformément à l’article 1er du protocole no 10 de l’acte d’adhésion de 2003 (2), et de Malte, de certaines parties du territoire UE de l’Espagne, de la France, de la Croatie, de l’Italie, du Portugal ainsi que, en vertu de l’article 355, paragraphe 3, du traité, du territoire de Gibraltar, dont le Royaume-Uni assume les relations extérieures. (2) La liste initiale des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne, au sens de la directive 92/43/CEE, a été arrêtée par la décision 2006/613/CE de la Commission (3). Cette liste a été actualisée en dernier lieu par la décision d’exécution (UE) 2015/2374 de la Commission (4). (3) Les sites inscrits sur la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne font partie du réseau Natura 2000, qui constitue un élément essentiel des mesures visant à protéger la biodiversité dans l’Union. Pour permettre de faire avancer la mise en place effective du réseau Natura 2000 et dans le cadre d’une adaptation dynamique de ce réseau, les listes des sites d’importance communautaire font l’objet d’une révision régulière. (4) Entre le 16 janvier 2015 et le 31 janvier 2016, des États membres ont proposé d’ajouter à la liste d’autres sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne au sens de l’article 1er de la directive 92/43/CEE. Des États membres ont également proposé d’apporter des modifications aux informations relatives aux sites figurant sur la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne. (5) Sur la base du projet de liste établi par la Commission en accord avec chacun des États membres concernés, lequel fait apparaître, en outre, les sites abritant des types d’habitats naturels prioritaires ou des espèces prioritaires, il y a lieu d’arrêter une liste actualisée des sites sélectionnés comme sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne. L’article 4, paragraphe 4, et l’article 6, paragraphe 1, de la directive 92/43/CEE s’appliquent aux sites nouvellement inclus. (1) JO L 206 du 22.7.1992, p. 7. (2) JO L 236 du 23.9.2003, p. 955. (3) Décision 2006/613/CE de la Commission du 19 juillet 2006 arrêtant, en application de la directive 92/43/CEE du Conseil, la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne (JO L 259 du 21.9.2006, p. 1). (4) Décision d’exécution (UE) 2015/2374 de la Commission du 26 novembre 2015 arrêtant une neuvième actualisation de la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne (JO L 338 du 23.12.2015, p. 799). L 353/2 FR Journal officiel de l'Union européenne 23.12.2016 (6) Les connaissances relatives à la présence et à la répartition des types d’habitats naturels et des espèces évoluent en permanence du fait de la surveillance réalisée conformément à l’article 11 de la directive 92/43/CEE. Aussi l’évaluation et la sélection des sites au niveau de l’Union ont-elles été effectuées à l’aide des meilleures informations alors disponibles. (7) Certains États membres n’ont pas proposé suffisamment de sites pour satisfaire aux exigences de la directive 92/43/ CEE en ce qui concerne certains types d’habitats et certaines espèces. En outre, les connaissances relatives à la présence et à la répartition de certains types d’habitats visés à l’annexe I et de certaines espèces visées à l’annexe II de la directive 92/43/CEE restent lacunaires. Le réseau Natura 2000 ne peut donc être considéré comme complet pour ces types d’habitats et ces espèces. (8) Par souci de clarté et de transparence, il convient d’abroger la décision d’exécution (UE) 2015/2374. (9) Les mesures prévues à la présente décision sont conformes à l’avis du comité «Habitats», A ADOPTÉ LA PRÉSENTE DÉCISION: Article premier La dixième actualisation de la liste des sites d’importance communautaire pour la région biogéographique méditerranéenne, telle qu’établie en annexe, est adoptée. Article 2 La décision d’exécution (UE) 2015/2374 est abrogée. Article 3 Les États membres sont destinataires de la présente décision. Fait à Bruxelles, le 9 décembre 2016.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project.

Box 2208, 71409 Irakleio, Greece Received 15 February 2005; revised 31 May 2005; accepted 2 June 2005 Available online 20 July 2005 Abstract Wall lizards of the genus Podarcis (Sauria, Lacertidae) comprise 17 currently recognized species in southern Europe, where they are the predominant nonavian reptile group. The taxonomy of Podarcis is complex and unstable. Based on DNA sequence data, the species of Podarcis falls into four main groups that have substantial geographic coherence (Western island group, southwestern group, Italian group, and Balkan Peninsula group). The Balkan Peninsula species are divided into two subgroups: the subgroup of P. taurica (P. taurica, P. milensis, P. gaigeae, and perhaps P. melisellensis), and the subgroup of P. erhardii (P. erhardii and P. pelo- ponnesiaca). In the present study, the question of phylogenetic relationships among the species of Podarcis encountered in the Balkan Peninsula was addressed using partial mtDNA sequences for cytochrome b (cyt b) and 16S rRNA (16S). The data support the mono- phyly of Podarcis and suggest that there are three phylogenetic clades: the clade A (P.

  • Chapter 11 Agia Galini to Preveli
    11: AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI CHAPTER 11 AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI To the west of the flat beach of Dibaki1 the hills again come down to the sea, and between them the valley which drains the Amari valley, the Platypotamos, debouches. At its mouth, near the site of the ancient Sulia, is the new settlement of Agia Galini, formed by people who have come down in recent years from Melabes [elsewhere Melambes]. The Mesara plain and the Amari valley both need a port. Matala is too small. The Minoan port to the north of it is now of no use.2 Boats can land either at Kokkinos Pyrgos on the Dibaki beach or at Agia Galini. Neither of these is more than an open roadstead, and sometimes one is used, sometimes the other according to the weather. The official name of the little village is Agia Galini, Αγία Γαλήνη, but popularly, Xanthoudidis told me, it is called Agios Galinios.3 A native of the mother village, Melambes, whom I met at Hersonnesos where he was acting as local justice of the peace, told me the legendary story of the name. 9/XII/17. The Empress Eudocia (Athenais), the wife of Theodosios II, had a quarrel with Pulcheria and was banished to the αγίους τόπους (the Holy Land). A storm arose and she landed at the site of Agia Galini and founded a convent of nuns dedicated to the Virgin. When this was done the storm ceased and so the place got its name. The Empress then left for the Holy Land.4 A little way to the east of the village and on the west side of the river near its mouth lies the cemetery.

  • Introduction Acknowledgements
    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.

  • Ecotourism Guide to NATURA 2000 Network Areas on Crete
    Ecotourism guide to NATURA 2000 network areas on Crete Be part of it, protect it! Operational Programme for Crete and the Aegean Islands Co-financed by Greece and the European Union Preface Dear friends, The past, present and future of Crete are inextricably bound up with its exceptional natural environment. Rich biodiversity, a significant number of endemic species, a variety of ecosystems and landscapes of outstanding natural beauty are what characterize our natural heritage. In acknowledging the value of our natural environment’s multiple functions as regards healthy living and quality of life, as well as in implementing our vision of sustainable development, Crete Regional Authority has made the protection, sound management and promotion of our island’s nature its top priority. The NATURA 2000 Network protected areas have a significant role to play in realising that aim, given that they act as key reserves for nature conservation throughout Europe. In publishing this “Ecotourism guide to NATURA 2000 network areas on Crete” we present the NATURA 2000 areas on Crete, highlighting their characteristics and stressing both their value and their prospects for growth. Sculpted by time and six thousand years of human history, our island’s nature is a common good each of us can enjoy, while also being under the obligation to protect it. We can only hope that through this guide we will all come to better know the NATURA 2000 protected areas, and understand the need to protect them. Regional Governor of Crete Stavros Arnaoutakis Contents 1 Alternative

  • Migration on Crete in Classical and Hellenistic Times
    Elisabeth Mlinar Migration on Crete in Classical and Hellenistic times Abstract On the island of Crete migration was triggered by different reasons as elsewhere in the ancient world. From Classical times onwards, some inland cities positioned on mountains or hills were abandoned in favour of already existing coastal towns. In some cases, a slight shift of location from a hill near the coast to the coastal plain led to the emergence of new harbour towns. But ceramic evidence leads to the conclusion that the older settlements were not totally abandoned, and a small group of people remained there. This phenomenon of emigration of a major part of the inhabitants, presumably mostly due to economic changes, can still be seen nowadays in faraway regions. Sometimes the movement of part of the population of a polis to the territory of another one on the basis of a treaty of isopoliteia could solve problems of over-population. On the other hand, migration was caused by wars between Cretan poleis. But there are also legendary cases of migration movements which may be based on real events. Keywords: Crete, Classical, Hellenistic, migration, shift of location, movement on basis of treaty, wars, legends Migration is the permanent or long-term, voluntary or involuntary change of living-place of individuals, families or larger groups of people (Chaniotis 2006, 98). As in our days, migration also occurred in Antiquity both within and beyond geographical units. Here I want to discuss migration within the island of Crete triggered by different reasons as elsewhere in the ancient world, illustrated by documented examples (Fig.
