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 in the upcoming months.
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

Integration rule type for parameters
OOAO (1434 or 100.0%)
Integration rule description for parameters
- the integration of the individual indicators by species under each criterion is carried out according to the rule "One Out All Out (OAAO)";
Integration rule type for criteria
OOAO (1434 or 100.0%)
Integration rule description for criteria
- the integration of the individual criteria for each species - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule;
- the integration of MRU for each species - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule;
- the assessment for the different groups of fish is formed by the percentage of species that are in "Good" status. The threshold value is 90%.
- the overall assessment under Descriptor 1 - Fish - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule, applied to all groups of non-commercial fish.
