The document summarizes the evolution of water governance in France from the 1960s to present. It discusses major laws passed, including the creation of basin committees and agencies in 1964, establishing water as a common resource in 1992, and restoring good water status in 2006. It also outlines trends towards stronger local authorities, fewer but more powerful water supply and sanitation services operators by 2020, and the implementation of integrated water resource management at national and basin levels through basin committees. The document concludes that the French model has aligned with OECD water governance principles and reflects a pragmatic approach of incremental adjustments rather than a static policy cycle.

Presented by Ruth Pérez (FNCA Spain) at FERTINNOWA's 2nd International workshop "Meeting growers’ needs: Exchanging Technologies on Irrigation and Fertigation".
Description: Future challenges relating to greater pressure on environment, natural resources, and climate change imply that a “business as usual” model in agriculture is not a viable option. The normative answer is not being effective enough. We are already in the sixth four-year-period of application of the Directive on nitrates and the progress cannot be considered successful.
This is a presentation given during the 12th EWA Brussels Conference “EU Water Policy and Sustainable Development” about storm water sewage overflows management at european level.
There is a need to improve the management of this policy in several European countries.

Presentation of OECD Government at a Glance 2023OECD Governance
Paris, 30 June, 2023
Presentation by Elsa Pilichowski, Director for Public Governance, OECD.
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024.

Part of the French population
served by public or private
operators in 2014:
Public operators :
- are entities supervised by local authorities
- may be a Local Public Enterprise with
private shares
- may sub-contract with private companies
for maintenance, billing etc
Private operators are under lease contract or
concession contracts.
Infrastructures always remain in the public
realm (no divestiture).

• The framework has been stable which creates confidence
• Decentralization has played a big role in introducing step by
