Short description: The agreement to start a Common Implementation Strategy (CIS) for the Water Framework Directive1 (WFD) in 2001 was seen as a milestone in working together towards a successful implementation of the core water law at EU level. Over the past years, the impressive results, the added value and the cooperative spirit of the exercise have been widely recognised (see e.g. 'Mondorf Statement' agreed by the Water Directors at their seminar on 21 June 2005). Despite its achievements, there are a number of issues which still need to be addressed. The increasing convergence of EU water policy will require the closer coordination or incorporation of activities which are based on other pieces of legislation. On one hand, the future flood directive implementation2 will need to be closely tied in with the WFD. On the other hand, issues on reporting will need to be addressed in a more consistent manner in the light of the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) developments.
