Perspectives for European Water Management Law
Target audience
Legal practitioners in the fields of water management law, competition and
environmental law, as well as lawyers and economists employed by ministries
and water management authorities, business enterprises, trade associations,
lobby groups, courts and universities
Description
At the half-way mark between the adoption of the Water Framework Directive
and the good water quality which the Directive is designed to achieve within
the Community, European water management law is currently going through a
phase of extraordinarily profound change. Reconciling the conflicting
interests of using and protecting water resources, as well as integrating
them into economically determined decision-making patterns, to some extent
poses completely new challenges for law-making and the administration of
law.
The purpose of this conference is to make overriding current structures and
future trends in the dichotomy between economic and ecological interests
tangible and to examine them in greater depth by analysing exemplary issues.
At the same time, the conference seeks to provide a forum to discuss and
exchange views on competing visions and concepts within the Community and in
the Member States, and to contribute towards the further development of law
in this field.
