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.

Method used
GES determination and target setting were approached both qualitatively and quantitatively. A qualitative description was made but at the same time environmental indicators were used according to environmental quality criteria and guidelines. As a result target setting follows the same pattern where possible. Targets to achieve or maintain GES are defined according to the desired state of the environment as set by GES descriptors. State-based, pressure- based and impact-based targets are provided.

Description [Targets]
The determination of pollutant effects and prevailing trends in contaminants concentrations in the water column, sediments and ecosystems
To achieve GES, hazardous substances should be kept at low levels and ultimately reach background values or zero. Therefore, the concentrations and impacts of hazardous substances are evaluated according to threshold values (limit reference points) suggested.
