1. CIRCA Accessibility Strategic Coordination Group, 5-6.5.2010
Maria Brättemark, WFD Team, DG ENV.D.1, European Commission

2. In this presentation Restructuring of CIRCA and calendar of events
New template for reporting of CIS activities
Thematic fiches
Nominations for CIS activities
Proposal for planning and structure of SCG meetings

3. Better dissemination of CIS outcomes (CIS Workprogramme 2010-2012)
In the period the following actions will be undertaken to support better
- Access will be granted to the restricted part of CIRCA to everyone who is involved in WFD implementation in local, regional or national administrations and who requests access.
- CIRCA will be restructured in order to make it more transparent and userfriendly;
- The CIS meeting calendar is put on the public part of CIRCA (including meetings of subgroups) and is updated regularly;
- Short summaries per activity will be provided which include the objective of the activity and links to finalised deliverables, and are updated regularly.
It is noted that dissemination towards the practical implementation level varies per
Member State and river basin. Actions to support better dissemination are therefore Member State or river basin specific, and improvements in dissemination rely largely on actions in the Member State or river basin itself.
