WFD Common Implementation Strategy – Progress and Work Programme 2003/2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Annex 1.2 Working Group 2.B - Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) • Introduction At the meeting of Water Directors in Copenhagen in November 2002, it was decided to merge the activities relating to economics, pilot river basins, wetlands and former Working Groups into a horizontal Working Group 2.B on “Integrated River Basin Management” (IRBM WG). The following sections outline the objectives, key activities and timetables for 2003- 2004 for “Working Group 2.B on Integrated River Basin Management” (IRBM Working Group). Additional information can be found in ‘IRBM Working Group 2.B – Terms of Reference Version 04.02.03’. • Objectives The IRBM Working Group has three main objectives: ‣ To identify gaps and to ensure coherence between Guidance Documents; ‣ To define possible sets of methodologies to assist the development of river basin management plans (RBMP) and program of measures (PM); ‣ To share experience and build capacity (to elaborate and disseminate training technical products as well as to provide new inputs in unexplored fields, for example environmental costs and pricing). • Key activities 1. Role of Wetlands in implementation of the WFD (Horizontal Guidance); 2. Integrated Pilot River Basin Testing; 3. Integration of economics in other technical areas (e.g. baseline scenarios); 4. Addressing economic tools (assessment of environmental costs); 5. Define methodologies for the development of RBMP and PM; More detailed activity sheets are presented below for the Activities 1 to 4. As regards Activity 5, it will be presented to the SCG at a later stage. • Overall timetable Provisional issues to be handled by the drafting teams, their duration and their expected deliverables can be summarized as follows: 30
