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 assessment under Article 8 was based on the level of risk, considering that if the level of risk is low, given the absence of anthropogenic activities, GES is achieved.
The Good Environmental State has been found to have been met since the values of the analysed parameters do not exceed the thresholds set out in the applicable legislation. The values that may have exceeded those same limits relate to very one-off and not significant sampling and events.
Nutrient concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects.
The concentration of dissolved oxygen is not reduced, due to nutrient enrichment, to levels that indicate adverse effects on benthic habitats (including on associated biota and mobile species) or other eutrophication effects.
Chlorophyll a concentrations do not reach levels that indicate negative effects as a result of nutrient enrichment.
The photic limit (transparency) of the water column is not reduced (due to increased algal suspension) to a level that indicates negative effects of nutrient enrichment.

Justification for non-use of criterion
For MRRU ABI-A-CONT_D5A1, D5B1, D5C1, D5A2, D5B2 and D5C2, the data are insufficient to assess D5C1 and D5C5.
