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.

An assessment of good status for descriptor 9 was not possible for the reporting period, as there are no data available for an assessment for coastal waters. 2017/848 as regards Descriptor 9. It must also be examined at regional or sub-regional level whether, where appropriate, threshold values for other pollutants not covered by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009; 1881/2 2006 or its successor Regulation Regulation (EU) With a view to the 2023-2027 evaluation period, risk-based sampling planning should be pursued, taking into account landing quotas.

Even if the samples examined are not objectionable under food law, the data basis is not sufficient to assess the status of German waters of the Baltic Sea as a whole for descriptor 9. To this end, it is necessary that particularly polluted species/matrixes are also included in the data base and that a risk-based sample selection is made ( inter alia on the basis of catch levels) For example, there is a marketing ban on cod liver from the Baltic Sea, as it contains concentrations of dioxins that exceed the limit value. 2017/848 as regards Descriptor 9.
