DABLAS II Project
• Evaluation of Policies, Regulations, and Investment Projects implemented in the last five years in Danube River Basin Countries in line with EU Directives and Regulations
Project Objective
Assist the ICPDR in evaluating the accomplishments realised in the DRB, in terms of policies, legislation, regulations, and investment projects, implemented in line with the ICPDR JAP and taking into account EU water related directives, in particular the EU WFD.
Expected project results 1. Provide clear picture on:
- the policy and legal reforms under preparation,- the gaps to be filled, and- the investment projects, which need further
technical and financial support.
2. Represent the baseline for evaluating subsequent progress, the costs and the benefits at the national and regional levels in implementing EU Directives.
Scope of the project (1)
1) Developing methodology, guidelines and formats for the collection and analysis of data and information on:
– implementation of policies, legal reforms and measures in line with EU water related directives and the ICPDR JAP
– implementation of investment projects taking into account the operations performed under the DABLAS Prioritisation Project
Scope of the project (2)
2) Developing/revising formats of questionnaires to include municipal, industrial, agro-industrial, wetland restoration, and agricultural & land use projects)
3) Analysing and preparing summary reports and tables
4) Developing indicators
5) Revising ICPDR DABLAS Project Database
6) Test-running of database and presenting of results
Implementation steps (1)
Analyse progress, identify gaps and propose priority actions to reinforce national capacities to facilitate the development of policies, legal and institutional mechanisms
Revision of project list at national level (JAP):analyse results, identify bottle necks in technical and financial terms and propose necessary measures to facilitate implementation of investment projects
Implementation steps (2)
Participation of national consultant in a one-day workshop instructions on the use of project fact sheets and templates
Completion of templates for policy component
Completion of a project fact sheet for each of the project by national consultant
Compilation of all completed project fact sheets and templates by the international consultant
Drafting of final report
Policy Component (JAP tasks)
Reduction of pollution from point and diffuse sources
Wetland and floodplain restoration
Monitoring water quality and water quality standards
Reduction and control of priority substances
Prevention of accidental pollution events
Product control, i.e. phosphate free detergents
Minimising the impacts of floods
Performing the domestic national water balance
River Basin Management
National report on policy component
Monitoring/enforcement of the JAP tasksBarriers to water-related policy and legal
reformSchedule and implementation steps for the
approximation of national water policies and legislation to relevant EU Directives
Cost estimates concerning institutional and legal measures and direct investments that have been carried out to respond to new water related regulations
Investments Component
projects implemented in the past 5 years taking into account type of project (technical description), investment cost, financing modalities and achieved results in terms of compliance with EU directives and pollution reduction (BOD, COD, N and P)
projects under implementation or in pipeline, which are well prepared and do not need any further technical or financial support, indicating expected results
projects in preparation, which need further technical and financial support
