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 by the end of August 2026.
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.

GES description
The marine environment of Cyprus is considered to be in good environmental status by the year 2020 if large-scale infrastructure projects are undertaken at such a scale so that the permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions does not adversely affect marine ecosystems. Quantitatively, this descriptor cannot be calculated based on a formula at present, and is assigned the value given to criterion 7.1 (at present, 1.0).
Spatial extent and distribution of permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions (e.g. changes in wave action, currents, salinity, temperature) to the seabed and water column, associated in particular with physical loss of the natural seabed.
Spatial extent of each benthic habitat type adversely affected (physical and hydrographical characteristics and associated biological communities) due to permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions.

Justification for non-use of criterion
The GES is to be removed as it refers to the Descriptor Level instead of Criteria
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
