River Basin Protection Action Plans(RBPAP) have been prepared according to the River Basin Management Plan approach. Some of RBPAPs have been prepared and implemented already. Rest of them will be prepared and implemented. Furthermore RBPAPs will be revised in the context of WFD and turned into River Basin Management Plans after 2015. 6 If “good water status” is not achieved untill 2027 because of technical reasons and disproportionate costs, there will be a request for derogation. 2027Year of achievement of good water status depends on the actual challenges in the basins.
