1. Assessment of 1st FRMPs and 2nd RBMPs State-of-play
SCG meeting
9 February 2017
Thomas Petitguyot
DG ENV, Clean Water Unit

2. Overall timeline Common to 1st FRMPs and 2nd RBMPs
MS reports: legal obligation = March 2016
EC Implementation report for WFD and FD:
legal obligation = end 2018
initial intention = autumn 2017, as an early input to the evaluation process ( Water conference in spring 2018)

3. Scope of the assessment
Second RBMPs:
country specific assessments
assessment at EU level (overview)
First FRMPs:
International coordination in water resources and flood management
iRBD/iUoM specific assessments

4. Intended process - RBMPs
Assessment and evaluation in 3 major steps:
WFD achievements regarding status and pressures (EEA report)
WFD "compliance" assessment
Integrated assessment
DPSIR storylines for main pressures (hydromorphological alterations, pollution by nutrients, chemical pollution, and abstractions)
Synergies with other water and environmental policies

5. State-of-play Delays in RBMP / FRMP adoption and reporting
But COMM report should cover most MS (not necessarily the late-comers…)
 delay in the planned publication (early 2018? – coordinated with EEA)
Delays in reporting into WISE and in development of IT assessment tools
On-going Pilot testing
Start of actual assessments in March
Opportunity to provide feedback on draft MS reports in late spring discussion in next SCG
WFD integrated assessment to start in late spring
Cut-off date
Aligned with EEA
Consultation: to be discussed in next SCG
Integrated assessment will come next 5 5 5 5
