In this study the results of the third Italian assessment regarding the conservation status (CS) of plants listed in the Habitat Directive (Flora of community interest—FCI) was presented. Data was collected from several sources related to plant distribution, population data, habitats and pressures. Following the official European procedure, all parameters were evaluated and combined to give the CS of each taxon in each biogeographical region of presence.

ABSTRACT – Vascular flora of the Trapani littoral between Ronciglio and Capo San Vito (NW Sicily). –The list of the vascular plants observed and collected in the Trapani littoral between Ronciglio and Capo San Vito (NW Sicily) during the last 20 years is presented here and commented. In total, 541 specific and infraspecific taxa were recorded. This flora has marked Mediterranean characteristics as shown by the absolute prevalence of therophytes as well as Mediterranean chorotypes. Among the most interesting taxa belonging to this flora are some halophytes and rare endemics such as Biscutella maritima, Calendula maritima, Cynomorium coccineum, Erica sicula, Galium litorale, Halocnemum strobilaceum, Limonium bocco- nei, L. ponzoi, Limoniastrum monopetalum e Pseudoscabiosa limonifolia.

    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES COM(9Q) 59 final Brussels, 30 March 1990 SUPPLEMENTARY ANNEXES TO THE Proposal for a COUNCIL DIRECTIVE on the protection of natural and semi-natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (presented by the Commission pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 149 of the EEC Treaty) KKPI..ANATQRY KBl(OI!AliDJJ¥ 1. On the 26 July 1988, the Commission adopted a draft directive of the Council concerning the protection of natural and semi-natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. (Official Journal C 247 of 21 September 1988). This draft included 3 annexes as the Commission estimated it preferable that the 8 other annexes mentionned in the body of the proposal be drawn up following adoption of the draft directive in accordance with an evolutive procedure and in close cooperation with the Member States. 2. The "Environment• Council expressed on two occasions (respectively 24 November 1988 and 28 November 1989) its wish to see a complete set of annexes incorporated into the proposal. It is to be noted that the first of these Councils explicitly requested that the annexes concerning species and habitat types be kept brief. 3. In October 1989, the competent committee of the European Parliament and the competent Section of the European and Social Committee made it a preoondi tion for an opinion the. t the Commission's proposal be completed so as to include the 8 missing annexes. 4. The attached modified proposal is therefore aimed at completing the annexes to the commission's initial proposal as adopted on 26 July 1988.
