Demarcated area (b) Single document heading affected: Demarcated geographical area (c) Reasons: — The Wine Community Council of the Kunság Region (Kunsági Borvidék Hegyközségi Tanácsa) amended the product specification for the ‘Kunság/Kunsági’ PDO. The areas of the municipalities of Kömpöc, Petőfiszállás, Pálmonostora and Újszilvás classified as Class I and II according to the vineyard cadastre of wine-producing regions were added to the demarcated area. The change affects the demarcated area in the product specification for the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO and has been included in this application. The characteristics of the areas included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO. Vine-growing is one of the traditional economic activities of local inhabitants. The classification of the wine region and the possibility to produce the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO generates significant employment and income in these municipalities and contributes greatly towards the local tourism industry.

Received: 7 September 2020; Accepted: 24 September 2020; Published: 27 September 2020 Abstract: Global warming is an unanimously accepted phenomenon by the international scientific community, being already highlighted by the analysis of observational data over long periods of time, with an increase in temperature of over 1 ◦C. Climate change in Romania is part of the global context, taking into account the regional conditions, with an increasing trend of arid summer. While the link between high temperatures, climate change and rainfall has been modeled in detail, the situation is not the same for plant water accessibility. The period of time between 1898 and the present, corresponding to the annual records of precipitation and evapotranspiration, overlapped with important political and administrative changes in the studied area, and with extensive hydro-amelioration works. The aim of the paper is to statistically follow the evolution over time of precipitation, namely of evapotranspiration measured in Western Romania, which would allow the expression of conclusions regarding the improvement directions of the water regime.

E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 19 October, 2006 Carpathian complex prognostic poligon has being created for testing of new methods and equipment and their implementation into the practice of seismotectonic investigations in the Transcarpathians. The polygon consists of a network of regime geophysical stations (RGS). I analyzed seismicity of the Ukrainian sector of the Carpathians. It is determined by local earthquakes and strong subcrustal earthquakes of the Vrancea zone in Romania. In this paper, I estimate the most fundamental parameters describing earthquakes: seismic energy E and energy class K=log(E) in a time window of 40 years (1961-2001). Our results show that, the E 1/ 2 plot against time may be a good tool for understanding of a local earthquake activity, although the shape of the plot is strongly influenced by extreme events. Also, we have found a correlation between seismic moment M0 and energy class K of the local earthquakes for Transcarpathian region. Key words: seismicity, energy class, seismic energy, seismic moment, geodynamic polygon, catalogue INTRODUCTION The Carpathian Arc which stretches for about one and year, seismic stations register dozens of local half thousand kilometres is a fragment of the northern earthquakes with magnitude exceeding 2.5. However, the branch of the Alpine Mediterranean Belt in Eurasia strong earthquakes occur rarely.
