Since 18 November 2016, three countries, Switzerland, Belarus and Ukraine, have officially adopted Emerald sites on their territories. These sites have successfully passed the biogeographical assessment for their sufficiency, as foreseen in Phase II of the Network constitution process. National authorities in the countries are now considering the management and conservation measures they need to put in place for these sites. They equally continue identifying additional areas suitable to join the Network on their territories.
