2 Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH The institute is a public research body with independent scientific activities, organizational and administrative framework under the supervision of the Ministry of Health The institute is the technical and scientific body of the National Health Service and protect the public health, carrying out research, monitoring, training, control and consulting activities. The Institute provides scientific advice and technical support for the Ministry of Health and local and central administrations. The Institute collaborates with National and European Agencies and international Organizations such as FAO, WHO and EPA

5 Objectives of the CIS The objectives of the CIS Work Programme for are three. The CIS should contribute to: 1. improving the implementation of the WFD and coordination with implementation of other water-related directives and facilitating the implementation of the first cycle of the FD 2. increasing the integration of water and other environmental and sectoral policy objectives, particularly nature, agriculture, transport, energy, disaster and risk prevention, research and regional development 3. filling in the few remaining gaps in the EU legislative and policy framework on water.

6 Drafting process for the guidance document Water reuse CIS working group PoM 15 October 2015 STRUCTURE Starting point of definitions Uses and sources Pros and Cons Consistency with EU law Planning Ensuring safety (risk management) Public engagement Funding

7 Guidance on planning and management Integration in WFD planning and implementation Clarification on others directives (UWWTD, ND ) Building on MS experience (case studies) To be developed in the CIS framework (ad hoc WG) by June 2016

8 Proposed governance Next CIS work programme: no WG PoM à Water reuse = task for SCG, possibly with the support of an ad hoc task group Guidance drafting DG ENV and consultant Call for additional information / case studies to WG PoM

9 Technical Workshop - "Water reuse in agricultural irrigation and aquifer recharge - Towards minimum quality requirements at EU level" Expert meeting in June 2015 Priority uses: agricultural irrigation and aquifer recharge JRC to develop a technical proposal by Autumn 2016 Opportunity to make these standards binding will be subject to an Impact assessment
