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.

  • Extraction of, or mortality/injury to, wild species (by commercial and recreational fishing and other activities)
GES description
For every commercially fished fish stock and crustacean or shellfish stock, the mortality from fishing (F) remains at the value or smaller than the value associated with a maximum sustainable yield (Maximum Sustainable Yield, MSY): F = Fmsy.
Spawning stock biomass (Spawning Stock Biomass of SSB) of commercially exploited fish, crustaceans or shellfish is above the MSY Btrigger precautionary level(in line with ICES catch recommendations).
Justification for non use: No GES determination available, this is provided to make the coupling to the MRU

Justification for non-use of criterion
The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which sets targets and measures, will be the guiding principle for the management of commercial fish stocks. The objectives of MSY (CFP, D3C1 and D3C2), on the one hand, and the specific age and size distribution (D3C3), on the other hand, can be contradictory. It is also not yet sufficiently known which other factors, in addition to fishing mortality, may have an impact on fish growth. ICES has therefore concluded that this criterion still requires further elaboration. Due to these uncertainties and inconsistency between the objectives of MSY and the specific age and size distribution, the Netherlands will not implement D3C3 at this stage.
