This article presents three products on the EU-level for reporting on the conservation status of habitats and species. These products include a Composite Report, National Summaries, and a Technical Report. The Composite Report, based on Article 17, will provide a concise overview of the conservation status and include recommendations for future actions. The National Summaries will provide detailed information on species and habitats at the Member State level. The Technical Report will serve as a factual basis for the Composite Report and provide a comprehensive database of European conservation status.
