European Policy Committee
EPC
The committee follows the European Commission's work on water management and organizes regular meetings with relevant officials. It provides feedback to European institutions on behalf of its members. The EWA participates in the Strategic Co-ordination Group meetings under the WFD Common Implementation Strategy and maintains close contact with other European associations and institutions.
The objectives and responsibilities of the European Policy Committee (EPC), under the guidance of the governing bodies of the European Water Association, and within its rules of procedure, are the following:
- Organise and coordinate relationships of EWA with European level bodies, and especially with bodies of the European Union;
- Facilitate and create the necessary and useful flows of information amongst the persons and groups representing EWA towards European level bodies, as well as between the former and the National Associations (NA), members of EWA;
- Identify emerging issues and important trends in water related European policies and issues, which are of interest to EWA and its members, in order to allow EWA to anticipate future changes and to contribute efficiently to European policy development;
- In consequence, and in conjunction with the European Technical and Scientific Committee (ETSC), propose the evolution of thematic activities and actions of EWA.
