Wrap-up and next steps Jacques Delsalle, Evdokia Achilleos DG Environment 1
Main objectives for the CIS period 2013-2015 • To ensure an effective preparation of the next RBMPs, to be submitted by MS by end 2015, addressing the shortcomings identified in the Implementation Report • To strengthen the knowledge base and tools that will support the further assessment of the RBMPs in 2016-18 and the review of the WFD by 2018. 2
New WG Economics • Oct 2013: • exchange of experience on update of economic analysis under WFD Article 5 + exemptions / CBA in 1st RBMPs • On that basis, identify urgent needs for clearer methodological guidance complementing/updating CIS guidances on: • assessment of costs and benefits of inaction/measures • integration ecosystem services approach • implementing WFD Articles 4 • cost-recovery calculation, including environmental and resource costs • link with Marine Framework Strategy Directive • links with EU funding and financing instruments • Guidance elements to be approved by Water Directors at the latest mid-2014 to ensure impact on the 2nd RBMPs • Further work 2014-2015: • Preparation of evaluation 2nd RBMPs and of 3rd cycle • strengthening of knowledge to be used in the context of the European Semester (link between macro-economic and water policies). 3
Expectations on workshop • Build analytical framework • (do we forget any important step?) • Detail clearly the links with WFD and FD implementation • (why are we doing this?) • Identify state of play knowledge, areas of consensus • (let's not reinvent the wheel!) • Discuss issues to be solved in the short term • (how can we influence 2nd RBMPs and FRMPs?) • Clarify the roadmap for further improvements • (what can we learn e.g. from on-going research projects?) 4
Next steps • Draft minutes + link to slides to be sent by COWI on 11/6 • Feedback + written comments from participants on draft zero guidance by 18/6 • Further discussions / internet platform • project website: www.watereco.info • Revised guidelines by August • WG Economics workshop (early oct 2013 tbc) • 2nd ES workshop tbc 5
