Revision of the Drinking Water Directive

Article 11 of the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) requires the European Commission to review Annex I of the Directive at least every five years in the light of scientific and technical progress, and to make proposals for amendments where necessary. 

Europublic, in co-operation with KIWA Water Research, was responsible for the organisation of an International Seminar in Brussels on amendments to this Drinking Water Directive, also managing and staffing the Seminar secretariat during and after the event.

Youth in the Seat of Power

The Youth Environment Council of Ministers project (YECM) was an initiative of the European Commission designed to heighten awareness of environmental issues and to familiarise young people with the decision-making processes of the European Union. The programme ran from early-2000 to the end of 2001 and brought together students from the 15 Member States at the time.


The YECM was organised bi-annually in the EU's Charlemagne conference centre. Europublic collaborated on the development of the concept and was entirely responsible for the implementation of this event for two years, including staffing and running the secretariat.

Role Models for the Environment

The Environment DG of the European Commission took the decision to enlist the moral and practical support of leading public figures in promoting the environmental cause with the general public.

Europublic was given the task of identifying and recruiting candidate Goodwill Ambassadors for the Environment, organising their involvement in the Commission's activities and providing full secretariat facilities. The group came together for the campaign's launch event on the last day of GreenWeek, after signing a declaration indicating their personal support of greater environmental awareness.
