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 in the upcoming months. 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
Concentrations of pollutants in coastal and territorial waters do not exceed these threshold values. The condition is assessed according to the indicators: 1) Pollutants in water. 2) Contaminants in bottom sediments. 3) Pollutants in biota. During the assessment period of 2012-2017, all substances referred to in Directive 2008/105/EC (as amended by 2013/39/EC) were examined, and their relevance in the Lithuanian sea area was clarified.
Determination date

Update type
Modified from reported determination
Justification for non-use of criterion
There is a lack of a regionally developed methodology for assessing the criterion. Monitoring of acute pollution focuses on oil, but spills of other substances are also possible. Due to the lack of sufficiently sensitive sensors, it is difficult to identify individual substances in accordance with MARPOL Annex II. The classification of significant pollution incidents and the follow-up to such incidents should be defined and developed. Cases of pollution are recorded in the Lithuanian sea area, but monitoring of acute pollution events is not sufficient.
