RBMP 2009 / 2010Elaboration 2007 – 2010 in AustriaHarald Marent & Ernst Überreiter

Workshop RBMP / Bucharest November, 06th-07th 2007

Structure

• Principles• Documents• Principle of the WFD and Report• Structure of the Report• Content for each Chapter / Reporting Data Sheets


RBMP – Principles (1)

• Structure follows Annex VII WFD• Content because of the Reporting Data Sheets• Aggregation levels: Nationwide, 3 RBD and 8 National

Planning Areas• All Waters (> 100 km2 and < 100 km2) are in the same

maps and tables• First “Draft RBMP” must be delivered to the Federal

States latest by March 22nd 2008• The RBMP is addressed to the interested Public. The

language has to be “common” and “easy”.


RBMP – Principles (2)

Decision in Austria:• RBMP itself very short (Summary – approx. 150 – 200

pages planned)• Text blocks in the RBMP should be useable (1:1) for the

WISE ACCESS tool• All other Information (Text and Tables):

– Background Documents (e.g. Methodology, Tables) are Annexes of the RBMP. These Documents can be in a “technical language”.

• Maps


Documents …

… used to define the RBMP content• WFD and the Reporting Data Sheets• Gap Analysis:

– Requests by the European Commission for the RBMP (Reporting Data Sheets) and the

– Content of the delivered “old” WFD Reports 2004 (Article 3), 2005 (Article 5) und 2007 (Article 8).

• Assessment of the delivered WFD reports (Article 3 and 5) by the EC in 2007 (identified key gaps of data/information)

• New policies (Water Scarcity / Drought, Climate Change)• Other Reports (e.g. Rhine, Elbe)


Document – Preparation in the Ministry (1)

“From the Big to the Small” (Top Down approach)

Main Index

Structure follows Annex VII WFD

Detailed Index• (Sub-)Chapters are closed in itself• Basis of the requests (Annex VII, Reporting Data

Sheets)

- Table with confrontation on the Information, the EC demanded (left column) and that, column argues, on the part of Austria already reported information



Table:

Existing texts should be used for summaries

Content defined by the EC Content already delivered by Austria and/or to be developed

Info Box with proposed content

a) Summary text

b) Data (Tables, lists, etc.)

The arrangement corresponds to the arrangement of the Report

The structure of the RDS follows always following pattern:

What (the content) is required;

Why are the contents required (indication of type. the WRRL);
