JOINTLY FOR A NEW EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL WATER MANAGEMENT. The EU.WATER regional answer for South East Europe.

The report summarizes the main results achieved during the EU.WATER project, co-financed by the South-East Europe Transnational cooperation programme. EU.WATER aims at investigating shared strategies in eight countries (Greece, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Moldova and Ukraine) to address the problem of rationalization of water use in agriculture and the reduction of nitrogen loads and other pollutants caused by intensive cultural exploitation, in order to enhance - in the Member States - the effective and coherent implementation of the Water Framework Directive (Dir 2000/60/EC) and on Nitrates (Dir. 91/676/EEC), supporting the accession process to the EU by the candidate countries and transfer practices and tools for the sustainable management of natural resources in third countries according to the EU Neighbourhood Policy.
