FLAPP ‘message’

• However, implementation in practice can be improved, especially across borders
• FLAPP shows what potential benefits are of better cross border cooperation in river basins based on practical examples
• FLAPP also made recommendations for different levels of government on how to improve integrated river basin management

Letters to EU parliament with statements on flood directive
1. More attention for cross border cooperation in transboundary catchments:
– Communication and coordination is a good start
– But not enough to achieve the directive goals
– Joint plans and measures are required too
2. Stronger focus on principle of sustainability with respect to flood management:
– Shift from flood defence to resilience strategy is needed
– Attention for values and benefits of wetlands and floodplains
– Not yet common policy / practice everywhere in Europe
– Authorities may benefit from a guidance document
