M.H. Schultz van Haegen – Maas Geesteranus State Secretary for Infrastructure and the Environment P.O. Box 20901 2500 EX The Hague Date: 22 June 2017 Re: Delta Programme 2018 cover lett er Your Excellency, It is my pleasure to present to you the Delta Programme 2018 (DP2018). In order to be able to continue to make suffi cient headway with the Delta Programme, I would like to draw your att ention to three proposals contained in this lett er, supplementary to the proposal and the recommendations that form part of the DP2018 main text, relating to the funding of the fl ood risk management, freshwater supply, and climate-proofi ng taskings. Recent insights into climate change render the timely implementation of the Delta Programme even more urgent, and call for additional eff orts in several areas. For this reason, in addition to the measures set out in the Delta Plan on Flood Risk Management, aimed at protecting the Netherlands against fl ooding, and the measures pertaining to water availability as set out in the Delta Plan on Freshwater Supply, this Delta Programme 2018 is the fi rst to comprise a Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation. The Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation comprises a strategy and measures for climate-proofi ng and improving the water resilience of the Netherlands, thus enabling the country to cope with extreme weather conditions. The Delta Plans contain detailed schedules of measures and provisions for the fi rst six years and indicative schedules for the subsequent twelve years, looking ahead to 2050 (in accordance with Article 4.9, paragraph 5 of the Water Act). Under Article 3.6b of the Water Act, it is my duty as Delta Programme Commissioner to monitor the progress in the implementation of the Delta Programme, to report on such progress, and to issue relevant advice. With a view to safeguarding its continued progress, the fi nancial embedding of the Delta Programme gives rise to three recommendations. 1. I recommend that, in line with the investment agenda1 of the regional government umbrella organisations (Association of Netherlands Municipalities VNG, Association of Provincial Authorities IPO, Association of Dutch Regional Water Authorities UvW), which requests an annual sum of 230 million euros for the implementation of the Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation, a substantial additional sum2 be added to the Delta Fund in the purview of the implementation of the Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation. If a new Cabinet should decide to allocate such a sum, it would be conceivable that these additional resources would be used for a limited period of time, e.g., for six years, to foster local and regional plans to combat waterlogging and heat stress. In my capacity as Delta Programme Commissioner I will provide further advice on this matt er in due time. 2. I recommend that the central government and other Delta Programme partners set aside a substantial sum for river widening projects; the central government may do so in the Delta Fund. Within the Delta Fund, a sum of 200 million euros has already been earmarked for the short-term implementation of the “river widening and dyke improvement” strategy. Meanwhile, several MIRT Explorations have been launched, in collaboration with regional partners, to substantiate this strategy. My advice to the parties concerned is to continue to contribute, based on an allocation ratio (central – regional governments) yet to be determined, with due regard for the experience gained in recent years. This would make it possible to pursue the success of the Room for the River programme, and continue to work on a robust river system. To this end, the Delta Programme parties are currently developing a long-term ambition for river widening projects along the Meuse and the Rhine tributaries, supplementary to the short-term river widening measures. This is generating high-quality area developments along these rivers, rendering the area around the major rivers not only resilient and structurally safer, but also increasing its appeal and “perceptibility”. 3. I recommend that, in the period of 2022 to 2027 inclusive, a total of 150 million euros be set aside in the Delta Fund for the second round of freshwater supply measures. Like fl ood risk management, the availability of suffi cient freshwater is vitally important to the liveability of our country. This is particularly signifi cant in terms of the economy: some 17% of the Dutch economy depend on freshwater. For the fi rst round of freshwater supply measures, a sum of 150 million euros has been set aside in the Delta Fund up to and including 2021. The Delta Programme 2015 already indicated that investments continue to be needed in the period beyond in order to improve the resilience of the water system and att ain the water availability goals by 2050. Finally, I would like to call your att ention to an issue pointed out by local authorities. A sustainable approach to our delta requires the commitment of and close collaboration between (and among) all the parties concerned: not just governments, but also residents and businesses. This applies to all the taskings addressed by the Delta Programme: fl ood risk management, freshwater supply, and climate-proofi ng the Netherlands. In this regard, the Association of Dutch Regional Water Authorities UvW, the Association of Netherlands Municipalities VNG, and the Association of Provincial Authorities IPO note that any cutbacks aff ecting the local authorities will be at loggerheads with the realisation of the urgent Delta Programme taskings.

  • Interreg I / Ii : Cross-Border Cooperation
    INTERREG I / II : CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION Euregio Meuse-Rhine: implementation and management in practice Speech by Mr K.H. Lambertz - Chair of the Monitoring Committee for the Euregio Meuse-Rhine Interreg Programme - Director of Euregio Meuse-Rhine - Minister-President of the German-speaking community of Belgium 1. General background and geographical situation In 1974, the governors of the Dutch and Belgian provinces of Limburg, together with the Chief Executive of the Cologne county administration, acted on the proposal made to them by the future Queen of the Netherlands, Princess Beatrix, during an official visit to Maastricht, to draw up draft arrangements for an association under which even closer cross-border collaboration could develop, along the lines of the Dutch-German Euregio project that had been running since 1957. This initiative was part of the new Community direction in regional policy, which in 1975 was to be provided with an instrument to assist economic development called the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In 1976, the principle of cross-border institutions was passed in law. Initially formed as an ad hoc association, the Euregio Meuse-Rhine was designed to promote integration between inhabitants on each side of the national borders. The area covers: • in Holland: the southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg; • in Germany: the city of Aachen, and the districts of Aachen, Heinsberg, Düren and Euskirchen, which make up the Aachen Regio, and • in Belgium: the entire province of Limburg. The province of Liège joined the Euregio Meuse-Rhine in 1978. In 1992, the German-speaking community of Belgium became the fifth partner in the Euregio Meuse- Rhine.

  • Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering
    NEWS Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering The Dutch Zuiderzee Act came into force exactly 100 years ago today, on 14 June 1918. The Zuiderzee Act signalled the beginning of the works that continue to protect the heart of The Netherlands from the dangers and vagaries of the Zuiderzee, an inlet of the North Sea, to this day. This amazing feat of engineering and spatial planning was a key milestone in The Netherlands’ world-leading reputation for reclaiming land from the sea. Wim van Wegen, content manager at ‘GIM International’, was born, raised and still lives in the Noordoostpolder, one of the various polders that were constructed. He has written an article about the uniqueness of this area of reclaimed land. I was born at the bottom of the sea. Want to fact-check this? Just compare a pre-1940s map of the Netherlands to a more contemporary one. The old map shows an inlet of the North Sea, the Zuiderzee. The new one reveals large parts of the Zuiderzee having been turned into land, actually no longer part of the North Sea. In 1932, a 32km-long dam (the Afsluitdijk) was completed, separating the former Zuiderzee and the North Sea. This part of the sea was turned into a lake, the IJsselmeer (also known as Lake IJssel or Lake Yssel in English). Why 'polder' is a Dutch word The idea behind the construction of the Afsluitdijk was to defend areas against flooding, caused by the force of the open sea. The dam is part of the Zuiderzee Works, a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage works.

We zullen moeten leren omgaan met grotere hoeveelheden water (zeespiegelstijging, grotere rivierafvoeren, extremere hoeveelheden neerslag), maar ook met grotere perioden van droogte. De zomer van 2018 staat wat dat betref nog vers in het geheugen. Beschikbaar zoet water is schaars op wereldschaal. Het meeste water op aarde is zout, en veel van het zoete water zit in gletsjers, of in de ondergrond. Slechts een klein deel is beschikbaar in meren en rivieren. Het IJsselmeer – inclusief Markermeer en Randmeren – is een grote regenton met kost- baar zoet water van prima kwaliteit voor een groot deel van Nederland. Het watersysteem functioneert nog goed, maar loopt wel op tegen de grenzen vanwege klimaatverandering. Door innovatie wegen naar de toekomst verkennen Het is verstandig om ons op die verandering voor te bereiden. Rijkswaterstaat verkent daarom samen met partners nu al mogelijke oplossingsrichtingen die ons in de toekomst kunnen helpen. Dat doen we door te innoveren en te zoeken naar vernieuwende manieren om met het water om te gaan.

  • 1 the DUTCH DELTA MODEL for POLICY ANALYSIS on FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT in the NETHERLANDS R.M. Slomp1, J.P. De Waal2, E.F.W. Ruijg
    THE DUTCH DELTA MODEL FOR POLICY ANALYSIS ON FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS R.M. Slomp1, J.P. de Waal2, E.F.W. Ruijgh2, T. Kroon1, E. Snippen2, J.S.L.J. van Alphen3 1. Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment / Rijkswaterstaat 2. Deltares 3. Staff Delta Programme Commissioner ABSTRACT The Netherlands is located in a delta where the rivers Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt and Eems drain into the North Sea. Over the centuries floods have been caused by high river discharges, storms, and ice dams. In view of the changing climate the probability of flooding is expected to increase. Moreover, as the socio- economic developments in the Netherlands lead to further growth of private and public property, the possible damage as a result of flooding is likely to increase even more. The increasing flood risk has led the government to act, even though the Netherlands has not had a major flood since 1953. An integrated policy analysis study has been launched by the government called the Dutch Delta Programme. The Delta model is the integrated and consistent set of models to support long-term analyses of the various decisions in the Delta Programme. The programme covers the Netherlands, and includes flood risk analysis and water supply studies. This means the Delta model includes models for flood risk management as well as fresh water supply. In this paper we will discuss the models for flood risk management. The issues tackled were: consistent climate change scenarios for all water systems, consistent measures over the water systems, choice of the same proxies to evaluate flood probabilities and the reduction of computation and analysis time.

This integration has been largely facili- tated by the Schengen Implementation Convention of 1990, which abolished border controls between the member states.1 However, this easing of border controls has also improved and expanded the opportunities for criminals to engage in cross-border illegal activities. Therefore, police and judicial cooperation has now become a high priority on the European Union’s agenda. The authorities in urbanized border areas are usually the first to be confronted by new developments in cross-border crime. As a result, opportunities for law- enforcement cooperation are quickly grasped, and practical innovations are devised as far as the conventions permit. Hence, border areas often serve as ‘laboratories’ for police and judicial cooperation. A clear example of this is the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, located in the border areas of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. From a scholarly point of view, jurists have largely dominated the discussion about police and judicial cooperation (Corstens and Pradel 2002; Peers 2000; Sabatier 2001). This is easily explained by the fact that up until now criminologists have con- ducted relatively little empirical research on this topic. However, the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion is an exception to the rule, as several studies about police and judicial cooperation with regard to the area have been published over the years (Hofstede and Faure 1993; Spapens 2002, 2008a; Spapens and Fijnaut 2005).
