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.

Justification for non-use of criterion
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which sets goals and measures, is leading for the management of commercial fish stocks. The objectives regarding MSY (GVB, D3C1 and D3C2) on the one hand and the species-specific age and size distribution (D3C3) on the other hand may conflict. It is also not yet sufficiently known which other factors, in addition to mortality due to fishing, can influence the growth of fish. ICES is therefore working on a joint interpretation of this criterion. Due to the ambiguities and conflict between the objectives regarding MSY and the species-specific age and size distribution, the Netherlands has not implemented D3C3.
