6.2.        Water resources management in international river basins

 

In international river basins, cooperation is usually sealed with formal international agreements, and frequently with the establishment of an international coordinating body. In such river basins, the EU Member States are required to prepare national RBMPs, covering their own territory but streamlined with the other RBMPs from the same river basin. Alternatively, they may develop shared international RBMPs (iRBMPs), where they should also involve non-EU countries that share the same river basin with them. This is practiced less frequently, though. In Europe, there are nine cases of international river basins with active international agreements, established international coordinating bodies and international RBMPs in place: Danube, Elbe, Ems, Meuse, Odra, Rhine, Sava, Scheldt, Teno/Tana. In other international river basins, a shared international RBMP or an international coordinating body can be missing. The cases where no international agreement has been signed are rare (EC, 2019g).
