Keep on using PRB one-step-ahead for: Populating the Catalogue of Measures, including effects and costs Providing Good examples with documentation on Cost of measures (methods, final cost, cost/benefit) Assessing the effectiveness of measures; linking to agriculture (AEM) experience Documenting experiences in implementation, linking to agriculture experience > contributing to the Article 38 discussion Building on the current experiences to include analysis of pressures from changing farming practices and impact of new technologies Setting up River Basin Management involving all stakeholders Technical pilot

PRB to explore processes and procedures by: Searching and testing new ways of integration and collaboration with the agriculture community, at RB level Creating and collecting experience in public/stakeholder participation. Raising farmers’ awareness and integrating valuable experience within the agricultural sector in the water planning processes. Probing funding mechanism to ensure full implementation and success of PoM. Creating networking to exchange crucial real life experiences and to ensure selection of cost effective solutions all over EU. Operational pilot

Sharing pilot Driver Activities: Networking on agricultural pressures, impact and measures to meet WFD objectives - sharing of experiences on location 5-6 workshops / meetings at different PRB- locations + report 2-3 day duration each Day 1: Special topic (open to wider RB community) Day 2-3: PRB experience and good examples of measures, including excursion Sharing pilot
