“Regional Environmental Network for Accession” Ref: EuropeAid/128906/C/SER/Multi • Mr. Philip Mellen ST expert/WG 3 Water Management Sub-group • Mr. Simonas Valatka ST expert/WG 3 Water Management Sub-group • Ms. Simona Daugintienė Junior expert/ WG 3 Water Management Sub-group • Mr. Aleksandar Maksimovic Junior expert/ WG 3 Water Management Sub-group The Annual meeting was opened by Ms. Madalina Ivanica, who welcomed the participants and expressed her positive attitude towards Water Management sub-group training activities and how it is been carried out so far. Ms. Ivanica asked participants for a feedback and comments of completed activities as well as recommendations for improvement. Ms. Ivanica invited everyone to be active and to look together for the best solutions of further activities. Ms. Daiva Semėnienė, RENA Key Expert 3 welcomed the participants and made an introductory presentation. The first part of the meeting was devoted to the RENA WG3 Water Management Sub-group activities, held so far. Ms. Semėnienė gave a brief overview of the implementation status of the WG3 Water Management Sub-group workplan, reminding the first three workshops and their outcomes, as well as some quantitative results in brief. Ms. Semėnienė presented post evaluation graphs of the first three trainings. On average 17 participants were present in the Water Management sub-group trainings. Valuation of trainers, training programme and logistical arrangements was mostly excellent and good. Ms. Semėnienė listed all planned training sessions and selected pilot cases. Three of them are already completed. Topic Date and venue 1. Basic measures: the role of the WFD completed 8-10 March 2011, Istanbul 2. River Basin District characterisation completed 26-27 September 2011, Podgorica 3. Heavily modified water bodies and new modifications completed 29 November – 1 December 2011, Belgrade 4. Coordination of criteria for good water status and First half of 2012 modelling of environmental impact of human activities on water bodies 5. Development of the Programme of Measures and First half of 2012 measures related to Article 9 6. WFD derogations and public participation, as well as Second half of 2012 stakeholder involvement. During roundtable discussion exact dates and preliminary venues were agreed for the next three workshops as follows: Topic Case study Dates and venue 4. Coordination of criteria for good water status and modelling of environmental impact of human activities on water bodies. Drin river basin 28 February – 01 March 2012, Tirana (Albania). Optional in other town of Albania which is closer to Drin river. 5. Development of the Programme of Measures and measures related to Article 9 Drina river subbasin 21-23 May 2012 (workshop will be combined with the WG sub-group on Investment Planning) Visegrad (BiH) or Podgorica (Montenegro) Page2 This Project is funded by the European Union A project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
“Regional Environmental Network for Accession” Ref: EuropeAid/128906/C/SER/Multi 6. WFD derogations and public participation, as well as stakeholder involvement. Third Annual meeting. Neretva river basin 17-19 October 2012, Mostar (BiH)or Zagreb (Croatia) Ms. Dragana Milovanović (Serbia) commented that in addition to national presentations it would be very useful to have regional cross border cooperation activities presented in the future trainings as well. For example, on March 2012 Danube River Basin Management Plan will be completed and during the next meeting presentation about it could be made. Mr. Stephan von Keitz supported this idea. RENA countries might have problems which can be specific and different from the ones in the EU Member States, so presentation of such kind of joint activities could be very helpful. It would be also very useful and interesting to compare methodologies applied for the development of RBMPs. It is not correct to think that EU Member States have all the knowledge and accession countries may just copy the activities already performed. Mr. Von Keitz stressed that all countries should sit together and collect good ideas. There is no one who knows all the necessary topics related to the WFD implementation, so RENA meetings are an excellent opportunity for all participants to work jointly. Ms. Dunja Barisic (Croatia) noted that all Water Management sub- group workshops were very useful and the third one was the best. Participants were very active. She also stressed that the knowledge gained during the workshop was very useful for practical implementation as there were quite many problems with these issues in her own institution. She expressed her wish to have more emphasis on the WFD related economic analysis. Ms. Semėnienė promised to the participants that in the future topics on economic issues will be presented during morning sessions, as these topics are in most cases new to participants and thus require good concentration. She asked participants to express their particular needs and wishes regarding the next 4 th training workshop. Ms. Ljupka Dimovska Zajkov (Macedonia) wishes to have presentation on MIKE SHE model in order to learn and to have some exercises with it. It would be useful to receive information what data is needed for modelling and to decide which model to use. Mr. Stephan von Keitz noted that modelling issue is very ambitious, though every country should go through this process. During training session it would be fair enough to have only ecological assessment related discussions and to leave chemical assessment out. Chemical status will be touched anyway, as it is overlapping with ecological status and that would be already quite challenging. At the end of the day we will know how the system basically works and could be applied, for example for Sava RB. Mr. Stephan von Keitz expressed his opinion stating that no model could substitute monitoring. Modelling can forecast how execution of measures would work and affect ecological status. Mr. Stephan von Keitz expressed his doubt whether it would be efficient to go into details of specific modelling during the coming training. Mr. Simonas Valatka asked participants what would be the focus and task for the modelling. The more sophisticated model you have the more sophisticated data is needed. Usually lack of reliable data is the main problem. Expert proposed to focus on monitoring issues and how to obtain more reliable data. Ms. Semėnienė invited participants to send their specific ideas for the next 4 th training within two weeks so that the programme could be accordingly adjusted. She invited participants also to comment on the content of 5 th and 6 th training. The latter is planned together with the third Annual Meeting.
