2. INTRODUCTION
MoEW
1. Status of WFD implementation Main findings of the country report 3. Ongoing activities preparing CEA

3. The legal harmonisation completed
WFD implementation
MoEW
The legal harmonisation completed
The Hungarian Strategic Document and
related acts/regulations and governmental
decrees accepted
Institutional background ensured
As Hungary’s whole territory is in Danube basin – work in strong relationship with ICPDR in order to create basin wide development plan to reach WFD goals
The sub-basins for river basin management plans defined, and main rules for working out the programmme of measures are regulated in governmental decrees

4. WFD implementation 18 planning subunit for programmes of measures MoEW
4 planning units necessary for international agreements and EU reporting

5. WFD implementation

9. WFD implementation Preparatory works, projects:
MoEW
Preparatory works, projects:
Általér project / – water management plan prepared in frame of MATRA project , some economic elements, but different principles
Szamos pilot project / – international (HU-Ro) testing of EU-WFD guidance for surface water bodies, common GIS and monitoring systems and economic characterisation
PHARE project / – two subproject in frame of twinning: survey of the ecological status of the surface waters, survey of chemical status of ground waters and some institutional development
Zagyva- Tarna pilot project / to develop programme of measures under the WFD requirements

10. WFD implementation Zagyva- Tarna pilot project:
MoEW
Zagyva- Tarna pilot project:
- Characterisation and water management issues including economic analysis and level of cost recovery is already completed
- Pressure and Impact analysis, Baseline scenario and risk analysis is available, but working out programme of measures with CEA will be tasks for 2006
Zagyva-Tarna river basin
Budapest

11. WFD implementation New EU funded project to support WFD implementation
MoEW
New EU funded project to support WFD implementation
(funded from Transitional Facility)
Starting date: December
Deadline for completion: III. Quarter
Main tasks:
methodology for defining programmes of measures most favourable from cost effectiveness point of view ( guidance for use of CEA in selection of the measures, proposal for evaluation and critical analysis of cost recovery in water services)
testing the results of economic analysis on Upper-Tisza watershed and in ongoing pilot project of Zagyva-Tarna. Final goal of the work is to work out a guidance for Hungarian water management planning process – how to use the economic analysis and CEA
Strategy for implementation of public involvement on national, regional and subunit level in planning process
