Introduction
A modified scheme of areas of protection (also known as safeguard subjects) by Udo de Haes & Lindeijer (2000) has opened up a debate in the SETAC-Europe Working Group on impact assessment. This paper should be seen as a contribution to this debate, providing some basic concepts and structures for the debate.
