The EUWI+ project addresses existing challenges in both development and implementation of efficient management of water resources and in particular the water monitoring capacities. It spe- cifically supports the EaP countries to move towards the approximation to EU acquits in the field of water management as identified by the EU Water Framework Directive Following up the gaps in the groundwater monitoring network of the Danube Prut and Black Sea Riv- er Basin in the Republic of Moldova, which were identified within a previously performed assessment, this study contributes to the improvement of the groundwater monitoring infrastructure in two groundwater bodies. This study covers the following elements: the precise location of three new groundwater monitoring wells, which are about to complement the existing monitoring network, the characterization of the hydrogeological conditions

This preliminary assessment is an intermediate product that deals with major transboundary rivers discharging from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus into the Black Sea and some of their transboundary tributaries. 2. Based on the countries’ responses to the datasheets 1 and data available from other sources, only a very limited number of watercourses have been dealt with so far as shown in the table below. The other watercourses will be included in the updated version to be submitted to the sixth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Belgrade, October 2007). This update will also cover other transboundary rivers discharging into the Black Sea (e.g. Rezvaya, Velaka, Danube, Siret and Delta-Liman) and their major transboundary tributaries. 1 The cut-off date was 1 September 2006.

The first event was a seminar entitled “From Ethnopolitical Conflict to Inter-Ethnic Accord in Moldova,” which took place from 12 to 17 September 1997 at Flensburg, Germany’s northernmost city and seat of ECMI, and at Bjerremark, Denmark—a former farm near the town of Tønder in Southern Jutland. Participants were diplomats, politicians, university professors and businessmen from the Transdniestrian and Gagauz parts of the Republic of Moldova as well as from the capital &KLÈLQsX (Kishinev in Russian). To facilitate the exchange of ideas and to revitalise the stalled negotiations between the parties to the conflict, experts in international law and diplomacy from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Council of Europe, and the Foreign Ministries of Denmark and Germany were also invited.
