2nd European Water Conference 2009
The clock is ticking towards the deadline for Member States to establish the first River Basin Management Plans at the end of 2009. Prior to that, Member States are required to encourage the active involvement of consultation on water management issues that are significant in the river basin districts as well as their draft river basin management plans (dRB MP). These drafts will be made available for consultation by 22 December 2008 at the latest, and be available for written comments for at least 6 months.
In the context of this process, the Commission will organise the second European Water conference on 2-3 April 2009 – to highlight key issues of strategic importance across the Union in the process of implementing the Water Framework Directive. Key European stakeholder representatives will be invited to give their first feedback on the draft RBMPs to stimulate a debate at European level on substance and process. Participation in the event via webstreaming will be ensured. In the run up to this event a conference on public participation will be organised under the French Presidency (13-14 November 2008 in Poitiers (tbc), FR) and the European Environment Bureau will organise a key event on their perspective of the process (18 November 2008, Brussels).
