| IWRM plan |
RBM plans (on basin unit principle) issued in December 2009 and are approved by the government for a validity period of 6 years. A governmental Decree No. 1127/2010 (V. 21.) on “Hungary’ RBMP” was used as a point of reference for the approval of the plans. The EU WFD and its implementation obligation was the driving force and the planning process was facilitated by the Ministry of Environment and Water. The elaborations of RBM plans were financed both by the EU and the Hungarian (85% and 15% respectively) sources. A Programme of Measures to achieve the good status of the water environment includes legal, institutional, technical and administrative actions.

| IWRM plan |
Poland does not have an IWRM Action plan but instead it is developing River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) and these are not yet approved. The basis to develop RBMPs is in Water law (from 2001). The RBMP are valid for the first planning cycle (6 years) and follow EU WFD requirements. The planning process was facilitated by the National Water Management Board at national level, and by Regional Water Management Boards on the basin level. At the basin wide scale of Oder River Basin, the International Commission for the Protection of Oder River has been also involved. Other international projects that also had input in implementation process included EU Phare and EU Technical Assistance. The elaboration of RBMPs was jointly financed from national budget and in the first stage by EU funds.
