2.1.     River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs)

According to the WFD River Basin Management Plans should since 22.12.2009 be available in all River Basin Districts across the EU. There are however serious delays in some parts of the EU, and in some countries consultations are still on-going.

Ultimo 2011 23 EU Member States have had their RBMPs adopted. Four countries Portugal, Spain, Greece and the Walloon and Brussels part of Belgium had not yet finalised the consultation of the RBMPs and therefore no adopted RBMPs.
