EMWIS holds 7th NFP Coordination Seminar

The Euro-Mediterranean Information System on know-how in the Water sector (EMWIS) is holding its 7th National Focal Point (NFP) Coordination Seminar in Istanbul, Turkey on September 10-11. The seminar will review EMWIS and its NFP activity progress while the NFPs of the Mediterranean partner countries will present their progress and their national work programme will be amended if necessary.
 
The seminar will also propose a common methodological approach to allow NFPs to carry out an analysis of user expectations in their country and to consolidate the results at the Mediterranean level. Such analyses may be carried out in Algeria, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey and Tunisia before November 2007, depending on their national work programmes. The indicative National and Regional programmes of the European Neighbourhood & Partnership Instrument (ENPI) will also be presented and analysed for the potential benefits to the NFPs.
 
Finally, the seminar will make preparations for the December 2007 conference of water directors and the 2008 ministerial conference, in particular by identifying actions which could be implemented at a regional level over the next 10 years.
