| 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.
