English: The Council of Europe should continue to mobilise the international community towards reaching the water-related goals in the Millennium Declaration, the Johannesburg World Summit for Sustainable Development Plan of Implementation and Agenda 21. 13. Consequently, the Assembly recommends that the Committee of Ministers: i. encourage member states to support and develop scientific research programmes so as to develop reliable integrated observation and monitoring systems and create comprehensive, easily accessible databases, thereby improving knowledge of the status of water resources, particularly groundwater; ii. encourage member states and members of the Open Partial Agreement "EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement" to include water issues on their list of priorities; iii. organise an educational programme including a comprehensive awareness-raising campaign, to mobilise and educate European policy-makers and the public to sustainable water management, at individual and group level; iv. consider means to allow member states of the Council of Europe to benefit from the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water through a specific agreement between the Council of Europe and the UNESCO-IHE Institute; v. invite member states to develop their co-operation with the Hydrotechnical Euro-Mediterranean Institute. 14. Considering the multi-sectoral nature of water resources management, the Assembly invites the Secretary General to launch a "EURO-WATER" integrated project for sustainable water management in Europe, aiming at assisting member states in the implementation of water policies and also in the development of practical tools for the different actors concerned. Such an integrated project could include in particular: i. dissemination of good water practice and experience including existing know-how; ii. implementation of the existing legal framework; iii. co-ordination of water initiatives, projects, and programmes, with particular emphasis on groundwater;  iv. international co-operation for improved management of common water basins; v. integration of all the interested parties and civil society in global sustainable water management; vi. establishment of partnerships with other international organisations as well as with civil society representatives;
