and sta?ed to meet the highest international requirements. The Icelandic public and economic sectors, in particular
the fisheries, transportation and agriculture, benefitted hugely from this development making

Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC),
Common Agricultural Policy, etcetera], except for the
Ukrainian part of the Tisza. However, the Ukraine shows
strong incentives to enter the EU community and thus the
EU acquis communautaire is used as key reference for the
development of its water management principles. It was
nevertheless decided to select two case-studies

The group should imagine itself as a policy agency responsible for designing a long term (20 years) planning
process that should enable the society to cope with the climate change effects and its uncertainties and
develop a climate change adaptation strategy.
We will form two groups with slightly different topics as described in the terms of references below. Each
group should have 3-4

The PRENLAB and PRENLAB-2 projects of several European countries, 1996-2000 (EC supported projects) were a direct continuation of the SIL project, but with a more multidisciplinary approach. PRENLAB

The Energy System group will focus on providing a forecast on how the energy system will look like in 2020, and how the demand for electricity will change until 2020. The group will deploy
