Workshop of the European Commission on the illegal use of water in agriculture
October 30, 2010
The control of the implementation of the policies thus acquired an increasingly prominent role, and this Conference - the sixth on Agriculture and water in the EU-27 - is important to strengthen the debate, which will improve the next reform of the CAP as well as the Blueprint for Water, the review of the water policy of the EU scheduled for the year 2012.
Of special interest to Spain will be the I meeting of the Group of workshops proposed, and which shall examine the application of the conditionality concerning the "unauthorized water use in agriculture" and other policy measures necessary to identifycontrolled it and eliminate it. The workshop will participate as speakers Javier Serrano, the Andalusian water agency, Enrique Calleja of the Guadiana Alto Consortium and Kerstin Uhlig of the Secretariat of Globalgap, and be based on a working paper which the Commission is currently preparing.
