7th NFP Coordination Seminar - 2007-09-10/11 Istanbul
This seminar aims:
• To review EMWIS and its NFP activity progress, including
recent activities on working groups (drought/water scarcity, re-use of waste
water, and water monitoring networks), the study for a regional water
observation mechanism. The NFP of the Mediterranean partner countries will
present also their progress and their national work-programme will be
amended if necessary.
• To propose a common methodological approach (using a
questionnaire) to allow the NFP to carry out an analysis of the user
expectations in their country and to consolidate the results at the
Mediterranean level. Such analyses could be carried out in Algeria, Cyprus,
Malta, Turkey and Tunisia before November 2007 (according to their national
work programmes)
• To present examples of National Water Information
Systems (NWIS) and memorandums of understanding between water data managers.
Indeed, at their last meeting the Steering Committee members recommended
EMWIS to prepare a methodological approach for the development of
“harmonised” NWIS (i.e. being able to communicate with a regional
observation mechanism). Potential funding mechanisms will also be
analysed.
• To present the indicative National and Regional programs
of the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument (ENPI) and to analyse the
potential benefits for the NFPs
• To prepare the conferences of the water directors in
December 2007 and the ministerial conference planned at the end of 2008, in
particular by identifying the actions which could be implemented at the
regional level for the next 10 years
