Two multilateral seminars were organised by the Commission on the Water Framework Directive in order to assist candidate countries in drafting new water management policies and in preparing future ISPA and Cohesion Fund projects according to the requirements of this Directive, notably as regards the integrated management of river basins.

Although the deadlines it lays down for implementation of its legislative and statutory provisions run until 22 December 2003, some of its principles - particularly integral management by water basin - inspired in 2000 the treatment of projects to be part-financed by the Cohesion Fund.

Development of river basin management plans under Directive 2000/60/EC and of flood risk management plans under this Directive are elements of integrated river basin management.
