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.

D2T1
Target description
Target: Reduction in the risk of introduction and spread of non-native species through the prioritisation of species and improved management of high risk pathways. Notes: The targets for MSFD Cycle 2 have been aligned with the criteria outlined in the Commission Decision 2017/848. Where targets from MSFD Cycle 1 do not align with the Criteria these have been discontinued and have been reported as ‘Target no longer needed’. There was no Target timescale date specified in MSFD Cycle 1 for this target. The Timescale date 205012 has been entered to allow the Schema be submitted and processed without errors. Under no circumstances should this date be attributed to the now abandoned target.
The number of NIS which are newly introduced via human activity into the wild per the assessment period, is minimised and where possible reduced to zero.
