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
Biological diversity is conserved. The quality of habitats and their number, as well as the distribution and abundance of species are adapted to existing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions (Directive 2008/56/EC).
Determination date

Update type
New determination
Justification for non-use of criterion
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
No indicators are available for the assessment of Criterion D1C1 for seals, white beaked lagoon, bottlenose dolphin and minke whale. Criterion D1C5 could not be assessed for any marine mammal species during this evaluation due to the lack of adequate data on the habitats of the species evaluated. In some cases, such data do exist but require a significant research effort to define the favourable habitat for each of the species assessed and to develop robust indicators of changes in their ranges. Nevertheless, this limit could be exceeded for the next cycle. The methodological standards relating to criteria D1C1, D1C4 and D1C5 for marine mammals will be specified following additional studies, as provided for in Ministerial Order 2019 on the definition of good environmental status of marine waters.
