9 9 3rd Plenary Session of the ICPDR - November The implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive is considered having the highest priority for the ICPDR. The ICPDR will provide the platform for the coordination necessary to develop and establish the River Basin Management Plan for the Danube River Basin. The Contracting Parties ensure to make all efforts to arrive at a coordinated international River Basin Management Plan for the Danube River Basin.

10 10 The WFD and the Danube The EU Water Framework Directive requires a river basin management plan at the basin level by 2009 ICPDR responsible for developing the DRB RBM plan (this includes the Sava Basin) The ICPDR RBM Expert Group is established a timetable for carrying out this task from 2002 to 2009 The UNDP-DRP assisting the ICPDR
