(12) While largely focused on environmental research, the BONUS-169 initiative cross-cuts a number of related Community research programmes on a range of human activities having accumulated impacts on the ecosystem such as fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, infrastructure (particularly in the field of energy), transport, training and mobility of researchers as well as socioeconomic issues. The initiative is of considerable relevance to a number of Community policies and Directives including Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, the Common Fisheries Policy, the Common Agricultural Policy, Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy and international EU commitments such as the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan. As a result, many other areas of Community Policy will benefit from BONUS-169.

(32a) The successful implementation of the projects already carried out under the BONUS-169 programme brought to light the disastrous condition of the Baltic Sea, particularly in those places where extensive energy-infrastructure projects are planned; the state of the Baltic Sea environment should therefore continue to be monitored actively.

(32b) Flawed practices revealed during the implementation of projects under the BONUS-169 programme should be discontinued, and projects submitted by the research centres of certain Member States should not be unduly favoured when the list of projects to be financed is established, as this would discriminate against other Member States in the Baltic Sea region.
