Picking fruits of FLAPP

• Implement lessons learned from FLAPP
  recommendations in your own daily work
• Implement cross border recommendations via new
  INTERREG IVA or ENP/CBC projects
• Example Common Strategy Lake Peipsi, Estonia
• Example Hungarian-Romanian IIIA projects

  specific problems, studies done so far,
  Agreements and Border Commission
• 2 Use of the Joint Approach of FLAPP for
  Integrated Water Management (flood protection
  more effective if based on integrated water
  management)
• 3 To develop a common strategy (cs) for Lake
  Peipsi
• Prepare cs on technical level, take into account
  all water functions, involve all stakeholders,
  seek endorsement of regional authorities, use cs
  to legitimize new initiatives (touch-stone
  function), emphasize finances and communication
