For Romania, the European MAES portal presents the project \”Demonstration and promotion of natural values in support of decision-making in Romania,\” implemented to carry out the MAES process in the country. It has the following objectives: • Policy analysis: \”seeks to evaluate the level of integration of the concept of ecosystems and ecosystem services (ecosystem approach) in public policy for the period 2014-2020 to develop recommendations for integrating the results of cartography and biophysical evaluations into the decision-making process\” for policy domains such as climate change, biodiversity, agriculture, fishing, aquaculture, regional development, and sustainable development, transport, energy, tourism, marine and forest areas. Through this action, an inventory and a map of responsible institutions and the results of a questionnaire for identifying institutional needs related to the MAES process have become available. • Analysis and management of data for the MAES process: \”identifying data sources, analyzing availability, analyzing representativeness, and updating policies, integrating data into the conceptual model and the physical model of data organization (including with the support of representatives of the National Scientific Council and contributors to the national basic research system).\” • Cartography and biophysical evaluation of priority ecosystems and ecosystem services (the MAES process itself), through which: \”mapping of ecosystems at the national level, realization of the \”Classification of ecosystems in Romania EUNICE 3\” (intermediate version), elaboration of update tools for this distribution (field guide for identifying ecosystems, methodological guide for evaluating ecosystem services), and selection of methods for continuously carrying out the evaluation of ecosystem services based on an indicator matrix and a comparative analysis of existing methods.\”
