Ireland's Compliance with the Water Framework Directive: Characterisation Report Overview

Ireland met the deadline for the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Characterisation Report by the end of 2004. The European Commission is actively pursuing compliance with WFD deadlines. Key tasks include identifying waters at risk, assessing main pressures, and establishing reference conditions. Upcoming steps involve an EU-wide intercalibration exercise for classification tools and the establishment of monitoring programs. Key deadlines include public consultations and the publication of the River Basin Management Plan from 2006 to 2009, aimed at addressing significant water management issues.
