As part of EEA's ongoing security and identity management improvements, we are currently migrating the system to Entra ID authentication.
We kindly ask all users to start using Entra ID credentials when logging in to the system. 
Please note that LDAP authentication will be phased out and disabled in the upcoming months.
We encourage you to verify that you can successfully access the system and that your account and permissions function as expected after Entra ID login.
Should you encounter any issues or require assistance during this transition, please contact Laszlo Cseh at laszlo.cseh@eaudeweb.ro 
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Regional cooperation
Given the transboundary nature of the environment in Belgian marine waters, a regional approach at the North Sea basin level is of great importance in assessing environmental status. Since the end of the 1970s, Belgium has already started measurements in regional cooperation, within the framework of the regional sea convention OSPAR. The monitoring of contaminants is an example of these efforts. Recommendations at regional level are adopted as far as possible and further developed where they do not yet exist through participation in the relevant OSPAR working groups. Measurement results from several programmes are also transmitted for archiving in central databases (e.g.ICES databases DATRAS and DOME, OSPAR noise register, ... ). Belgium also took an active part in regional projects to promote further harmonisation (e.g. JMP Eunosat for eutrophication) or to start a new monitoring (e.g. JOMOPANS for ambient noise). Consultations also take place at European level, e.g. on seabed integrity (TG Seabed). More details on international cooperation are given in the monitoring programmes in annex.
