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.

Description overall status
The number of non-indigenous species introduced by human activities is still increasing, so good environmental status is not being achieved. During the assessment period from 2011 to 2016, 8 new introduced species were identified, three of which can result in important (not negligible) changes in the ecosystem as a result of a permanent introduction.
