12 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 12 KEY DRIVERS FOR POLICY CHANGES AND JOINT ACTIONS »Reduction of nutrients input into the Black Sea – GEF Danube – Black Sea Strategic Partnership »EU Accession Process »EU Water Framework Directive

13 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 13 GEF DANUBE – BLACK SEA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP Summary of objectives 1.Adopting and implementing of new policies, institutional and regulatory measures for nutrient reduction, 2.Implementing investment projects for water pollution reduction, 3.Capacity building for water pollution management including monitoring systems, 4.Adopting of legal mechanisms at national and regional level (Conventions) to control nutrient releases to the Black Sea, 5.Reinforcing international cooperation for nutrient reduction measures, 6.Implementing pilot project for nutrient reduction with active involvement of stakeholders.

14 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 14 US$70M GEF grants in 3 tranches (2001-2003) Combination of investments and policy reforms in individual countries Focused on nutrient reduction from municipal, industrial and agricultural sources GEF DANUBE – BLACK SEA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP Investment Fund Snapshot

15 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 15 Focused regional framework for countries’ investments addressing eutrophication Streamlined GEF project approval Leveraging over US$400M of co-financing Access to international best practice Catalytic effect among donors: DABLAS, EU ISPA and associated country funds, DISF, BSIF, bilateral donors GEF DANUBE – BLACK SEA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP Investment Fund Value Added

17 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 17 KEY DRIVERS FOR POLICY CHANGES AND JOINT ACTIONS EU Accession Process »Political and legal base for implementation and enforcement of EU legislation »Sets targets and priorities for candidate and applicant countries »Framework for donors activities and internatinal assistance in meeting environmental objectives

18 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 18 KEY DRIVERS FOR POLICY CHANGES AND JOINT ACTIONS EU Water Framework Directive »sets uniform standards in water policy and integrates different policy areas involving water issues, »requires a river basin approach for the development of integrated and coordinated river basin management, »stipulates a defined time-frame for the achievement of the good status of surface water and groundwater, »introduces the economic analysis of water use in order to estimate the most cost-effective combination of measures in respect to water uses, »includes public participation in the development of river basin management plans ( active involvement of stakeholders, non- governmental organisations and citizens).

19 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 19 KEY DRIVERS FOR POLICY CHANGES AND JOINT ACTIONS EU Water Framework Directive -cont »objective of nutrient reduction entirely consistent with expected outcomes of EU WFD, »Pressures and Impact Analysis strengthens the TDA approach »detail River Basin Management Plans provide concrete programme how pollution will be reduced involving policy and investment measures at transboundary and national levels »EU WFD RBM Plan contain all potential SAP components »legal obligation and enforcement mechanisms for implementation of RBM plans »EU WFD is fully consistent with the GPA approach and both processes are mutually supportive

20 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 20 TDA/WFD Transition Key Problems Identified Pressures and Impact Assessment in the DRB »Organic pollution due to insufficient treatment of waste-water from municipalities »Nutrient loads still well above the levels of 1955 »Hazardous substances »Hydromorphological alterations

21 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 21 TDA/WFD Transition Key Problems Identified to be approved at the Ministerial Meeting – Vienna, 13 December 2004

22 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 22 INTEGRATED APPROACH OF TRANSBOUNDARY ANALYSIS ADDRESSING DIFFERENT USES OF DRB WATER RESOURCES »Detail characterisation of surface and ground waters »Identification of pressures and their causes: »Pollution »Hydromorphological alterations due to flood protection, power generation, navigation, etc »Other anthropogenic pressures »Assessment on rivers, lakes, coastal waters and their ecosystems »Inventory of protected areas (biodiversity) »Economic analysis of water uses »Public information and consultation

23 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 23 FUTURE PROGRAMME OF MEASURES Next steps are to integrate the results of the pressure and impact analysis with the results of the economic analysis of water uses in order to develop a coherent and integrated programme of measures, by 2009, for the water bodies at risk of failing to reach the environmental objectives

24 IWRM in the Danube River Basin Tokyo, 8th December 2004 24 CONCLUSIONS »DRB Countries made significant progress in establishing the necessary mechanisms for coordination and cooperation in transboundary context »Danube countries strongly committed to cooperate »The EU WFD: driving force and mechanism for support of integrated water management »The ICPDR forum for dialogue, understanding and action »The active involvement of the public is a core principle in IWRM »TDA/SAP / WFD approach led to balancing of different uses of the Danube
