Studies required for harmonization of Turkish Legislation with the Directive will be launched after 2014.

A national project called “Hazardous Substances Pollution Control” (covering the years 2012-2013) that will contribute to transposition of

the Directive is going to be initiated.

The transposition of the Directive will be completed by the end of 2014 with a project, which was accepted under 2011 IPA-1 programme, namely the “Project on the Conversion of River Basin Protection Action Plans into River Basin Management Plans”. Thus, compliance will be

ensured by the targeted date.

The Project for "Implementation of the Nitrate Directive in Turkey" under IPA was adopted in 2007. The Technical Assistance and the Supply components has been tendered in 2010. Implementation of these components is going to start in 2011 and completed by the end of 2013.

The project has three components:1. Twinning - 1,000,000 € (Completed)2. Technical assistance – 2,000,000 € 3. Supply - 3,765,000 €

Technical Assistance Component of the project began in January 2011 and will last for two years. The planned activities include the determination of sensitive areas, preparation of the action plans, the development of codes of good agricultural practices, and establishment of national pollution monitoring network.

Under the twinning component of the project aiming for the implementation of the Nitrate Directive, the secondary Legislation will be prepared and institutional capacity will be improved.

River Basin Protection Action Plans (RBPAP) which are being prepared by DGEM under the MOEF will have been finalized by 2013 and will set the basis for Article 5 reports

4 Start preparing the river basin management Plans

After 2014

Preparation of river basin management plans are directly linked with the finalization of Article 5 reports and RBPAPs.

5 Start of Implementation of river basin management plans

After 2015

2015 is in line with the start of the second river basin management plans of the present EU Member States.River Basin Protection Action Plans(RBPAP) have been prepared according to the River Basin Management Plan approach. Some of RBPAPs have been prepared and implemented already. Rest of them will be prepared and implemented. Furthermore RBPAPs will be revised in the context of WFD and turned into River Basin Management Plans after 2015.

6 If “good water status” is not achieved untill 2027 because of technical reasons and disproportionate costs, there will be a request for derogation.

2027 Year of achievement of good water status depends on the actual challenges in the basins.
