List of the past bio-geographical seminars and bilateral meetings in chronological order The aim of the biogeographical seminars and the bilateral meetings is to discuss the draft conclusions on the sufficiency of current SCI network, which are prepared by the ETC/BD. The result of the seminar or meeting is the updated reserve lists and updated reference lists. If the changes in the SDF are of minor importance, draft conclusions are consulted with a particular MS via a E-mail exchange, without organising seminar or bilateral meeting.
