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
GES not determined at sub-regional level as laid down in Article 3(5)(b) of the MSFD. The description of Decision (EU) 2017/848 was maintained: "The condition of the habitat type, including its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions (e.g. its typical species composition and relative abundance, the absence of particularly sensitive or fragile species or species that provide an essential function and the size structure of the species), is not adversely affected by anthropogenic pressures."
Determination date
202003
Update type
New determination
Justification for non-use of criterion
GES not determined at sub-regional level as laid down in Article 3 (5) (b) of the MSFD. Insufficient data to establish GES. Evaluation methods and thresholds not established.
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
There is a widespread information gap with regard to pelagic habitats in the Azores for this criterion, and there are no regular long-term monitoring programmes in situ for oceanographic, physical, chemical and planktonic communities on a regional scale, but only sporadic studies that do not follow a standardised methodology. It is therefore not possible to determine benchmarks and thresholds in this cycle or to determine GES.
