CIS work programme 2010 - 2012 Results of an bottom up analysis about the CIS-working programme(Germany) Holger Diening
Analysis • impulse: • discussion paper of troika • participants: • Coordinators from regional authorities and RBMOs • Experts from state and regional authorities and heads of national expert groups • method: • Questionnaire on current CIS-process and on demands / expectations for the future process • Common interpretation and identification of proposals within a workshop of 30 persons.
Extent of CIS-process • Many experts rate the actual CIS-process as rather too extensive. This refers to the volume and intensity of the process. After the 1. RBMP the process should be continued, but could be reduced. • Regional experts and coordinators have difficulties to follow the CIS-process and transfer the results to local experts. This limits the acceptance / success of the CIS-process. • To most RBMOs and local experts CIS-results have been often too late for timely implementation (e.g. Reporting ECO, Environmental Objectives Guideline) too less too much
Opinions on the structure of CIS-Process • There is a high potential for reduction of sub groups under WG-Level after finishing their tasks in 2009. • The WGs are furthermore needed as important networks and as a base for common activities (e.g. preparation of workshops) => But change in working procedure necessary. • SSGs are further needed as interdisciplinary bodies (e.g. communication with agricultural sector). • Potential to reduce work of WG C • Actual no further need for drafting group Environmental Objectives and Exemptions • The mandat of new groups under WG-level should be task-oriented and time-limited.
Transparency • Result: process is not sufficiently transparent • high transparency for experts directly involved (via circa) • low transparency for people outside CIS-process and regional coordinators (=> risk of low acceptance) • Proposals • Short Summaries (1-2 pages!) for certain main topics (e.g. groundwater, ecology, HMWB) as living document with further links to other important documents (e.g. CIS-Guidance)target group: regional coordinators and local level • Listing of all WGs and their subgroups • Timetable of all meetings and workshops (living document) very low very high
for European harmonization for individual work Benefitof CIS-Process • Results / Proposals for 2010- 2012 • High Demand ( 90%) for information exchange, “best practice” and communication on chosen approaches and problems • Low Demand (20%) for new guidance documents or adaptation of existing guidance; only in special fields • Mixture of continuous communication within working groups and targeted workshops on special subjects (80%) • Ways to increase the benefits • Increase transparency for outside CIS-Community • Consideration of deadlines which are obligatory for implementation by national / river basin experts / authorities zero high zero high
important subjects 2010-2012(frequently indicated) • Information exchange on RBMP / PoM / strategies + identifying of best practice in fields of significant water issues (e.g. agriculture, river continuity) • Clarity about compliance check RBMP 2010 • Clarification of economic aspects (RBMP 2015) • Early preparation and transparency about contents of Report 2013 • Implementation rules for funding (e.g. rural funds) • Interrelationship WFD / CAP • Harmonisation with other directives (flood, marine, habitat, …) • Harmonisation of reporting requirements (SoE, INSPIRE, SEIS, …)
