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
Trends in the concentration of contaminants in water, sediment and biota in marine areas beyond territorial waters, are stable or declining throughout the 6-year assessment period, and, where relevant, are in line with Environmental Assessment Criteria that may be set by UNEP/MAP’s Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Plan (IMAP).
Concentration of contaminants in the water column and biota, within territorial waters, do not exceed the relevant Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) set through Directive 2013/39/EU.
Trends in the concentration of contaminants in sediment and biota (as relevant), within territorial waters, are stable or decreasing throughout the 6-year assessment period.
Concentrations of contaminants in biota are not giving rise to adverse health effects on species or habitats.
The spatial and temporal extent of marine areas affected by acute pollution events is stable or decreasing throughout the 6-year assessment period.
