The Greater North Sea is a semi enclosed basin, situated on the continental shelf of north-west Europe. Its Southern part is very prone to eutrophication, as it receives most of the run-offs and is relatively isolated from the direct influence of the Atlantic waters. We aim here to assess the impact of a reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus loads originating from coastal discharges by performing numerical modelling experiments. The configuration used is the 5km ocean model GETM (General Estuarine Transport Model) coupled with ERSEM (European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model). The GREEN (Geospatial Regression Equation for European Nutrient losses) hydrological model provided nutrients loads. After a 30 years spinup, 16 sensitivity experiments have been integrated from 2010 to 2015. The nitrogen and phosphorus discharges have been independently set to 20, 50, 80 and 100 % of the original nutrient load. We analysed the mean levels of several criteria of the descriptor D5 related to Eutrophication.

HERA seeks to address what role flexible, multi-technology EU manufacturing and process innovation capacity can play to facilitate surge manufacturing capacity and improve the EU’s access to both vaccines and therapeutics. The report explores the role of manufacturing flexibility in creating manufacturing capacities, evaluating the scientific, engineering, legal and economic aspects, and compares the potential implementation options, including public-private partnerships, capacity reservation contracts, and advance purchase agreements (APAs). Responding to the complex threat landscape of serious cross-border threats to health requires strengthening the EU’s preparedness and response. The report recommends direct capacity reservation agreements with EU-based manufacturers as the most suitable option for HERA, and specifically reservation of flexible product-agnostic manufacturing capacities for key technology platforms in both vaccines and therapeutics, partnering with two manufacturers for each platform where this can be economically done to ensure dual sourcing that mitigates supplier risks.
