为改革和理顺整个欧洲联盟(MS)成员国的水资源政策和管理，欧盟于2000年推出了水资源框架指令(WFD)，这是欧盟关于水保护的旗舰立法，被广泛认为是江河流域综合管理(IRBM)范例应用的体现和载体。它的生态目标，也许比法定集水规划本身更具挑战性，是让所有欧盟水域在2015年前达到“良好状态”(适用豁免的除外)，并防止任何进一步的恶化。为了支持即将在2019年进行的世界发展议程审查，本文回顾了导致通过世界发展议程的欧盟政策的转变，以确定引入该指令的原因及其试图提供的内容，并将其实施进展置于背景中。它进一步调查了可能限制该指令有效性的原因，并促成了在改善水质方面的有限交付和拖延。调查结果显示，对指令的目标和豁免的不同解释自谈判以来一直悬而未决，其共同执行战略观察到的模棱两可和妥协，以及对所需的政策转变缺乏真正的支持，都是协调调换IRBM范式的障碍，而IRBM范式是实现良好生态状况的关键。2019年WFD审查提供了一个独特的机会，使指令的执行与其最初的愿望和目标相一致。
Introduced in 2000 to reform and rationalise water policy and management across the European Union (EU) Member States (MS), the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the EU’s flagship legislation on water protection, is widely acknowledged as the embodiment and vessel for the application of the Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) paradigm. Its ecological objectives, perhaps even more challenging than the prospect of statutory catchment planning itself, were for all EU waters to achieve ‘good status’ by 2015 (except where exemptions applied) and the prevention of any further deterioration. In support of the upcoming WFD review in 2019, the paper reviews the transition of EU policies that led to the adoption of the WFD, to identify the reasons why the Directive was introduced and what it is trying to deliver, and to place progress with its implementation into context. It further investigates reasons that might have limited the effectiveness of the Directive and contributed to the limited delivery and delays in water quality improvements. Findings reveal that different interpretations on the Directive’s objectives and exemptions left unresolved since its negotiation, ambiguity and compromises observed by its Common Implementation Strategy and lack of real support for the policy shift required have all been barriers to the harmonised transposition of the IRBM paradigm, the key to delivering good ecological status. The 2019 WFD review offers a unique opportunity to realign the implementation of the Directive to its initial aspirations and goals.
