The concerted action Harmoni-CA: Facilitating the dialogue and bridging the gap between research and the WFD implementation

Since end 2003, Harmoni-CA links its activities with those initiated by DG Environment, CIS Working Group B (Integrated River Basin Management). As a result representatives of DG Env, DG RTD, Harmoni-CA/CatchMod, Joint Research Centre and WG2B leaders drafted a “scope paper” in order to start a discussion on the possibilities for strengthening the cooperation between RTD and those responsible for implementing the WFD. This paper describes some of the activities as proposed in the scope paper.
