A workshop on transboundary water management in Eastern and Northern Europe was organized from 27 to 29 April 2010 in Kiev, Ukraine as part of the preparations of the second assessment of transboundary rivers, lakes and groundwaters under the Convention. The workshop was organized jointly by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) with the International Water Assessment Centre (IWAC) hosted by the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute which also funded the workshop, and co-hosted by the Ministry of Environment of Ukraine and the Ukrainian State Committee for Water Management.
This assessment of Eastern and Northern Europe, which is carried out in the first half of 2010, focuses on water bodies shared by EU and non-EU countries which make up an important fringe zone for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive with a number of international River Basin Districts. The sub-regional assessment work involves the following countries: Belarus, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Ukraine and the neighbouring EU countries Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway, Romania and Slovakia.
