WP 6 - Legislative and Institutional Issues

ProDes will collaborate with key-decision makers to improve the framework conditions for the promotion of water production by RE-desalination and will ensure that there is adequate legal protection of the consumers and the environment.

An assessment will be made on how the framework conditions in the target countries can affect the implementation of RE-desalination. As a result concrete recommendations for improvements will be developed and communicated to key decision-makers like public authorities and policy makers through an event in each country. Realistic targets for the future regarding the share of water produced by RE-desalination on the overall desalinated water produced will be defined. Finally concrete suggestions will be made for local, regional or national schemes that will promote the more efficient use of current public spending in the form of subsidies in order to support sustainable solutions in line with the social and environmental policies.
