* General Information

This listing of EU-programmes does not have the ambition nor the aim to be complete. The information presented here are EU-programmes where the water environment can be a subject. The general database of the EC is hosted by European Commission Host Organisation (ECHO) and you may wish to consult Magazines and Bulletins for RTD-Transfer.

Useful overviews on :

* EU Financial Instruments for the Environment
* EC Legislation

In order to give you a guide to the many EU-programmes, we present them classified according to the Directorates-General (DG) of the EC where the programmes find their origin. In some cases more than one DG is responsible. The Commissioner in charge appears in brackets below each DG.

We present the links as follows:

• normal characters link to the EC pages directly, if any exist.
• italic characters link to the PANTA RHEI pages prepared by the Editor
