Name	List of National Designation Types
Short Description	Table contains the list of designations and references to laws
Definition	List of designations types for the country.
Methodology for obtaining data	In the table 'Designations', you will find a list of designations for your country. The complete list is built from the annual CDDA deliveries and maintained by the countries (respective Eionet NRCs). It should be verified and corrected according to the actual national situation. The national designation types are classified according to three categories: Category A: Designation types used with the intention to protect fauna, flora, habitats and landscapes (the latter as far as relevant for fauna, flora and for habitat protection). Category B: Statutes under sectorial, particularly forestry, legislative and administrative acts providing an adequate protection relevant for fauna, flora and habitat conservation. Category C: Private statute providing durable protection for fauna, flora or habitats This list also contains statutes under sectorial, particularly forestry, legislative and administrative acts, many of them do not result in a specific list of sites, but they may be used as a designation within individual areas, identified under other legislation. In 2008, national reference centres for biodiversity were asked to review and harmonise the CDDA list of national designations and the list used for Natura 2000 and Emerald networks.
