An event dedicated to the conclusions of the Structural Dialogue on Water took place in Leuven, Belgium, on October 19, 2026, with the participation of European Commission Commissioner Roswall. She addressed the meeting participants, including Minister Brunus and representatives from the Brussels and Wallonia regions. In her remarks, the Commissioner emphasized the significance of beginning the week with the signing of a joint declaration, stressing the importance of coordination between national and regional authorities on water resource management issues. The Structural Dialogue on Water is part of a broader European Union initiative aimed at developing coordinated policy in the field of water use, protection of aquatic ecosystems, and adaptation to climate change. Such dialogues are designed to unite the efforts of various levels of government—from the European to the regional level—to develop effective solutions in the face of growing pressure on water resources stemming from climate change, urbanization, and industrial development. The participation of representatives from Belgian regional administrations underscores the country's federal structure, where water policy matters fall under the joint jurisdiction of the national government and the regions. The signing of the joint declaration is viewed as an important step toward a more coordinated approach to implementing European water directives at the national and regional levels. The event in Leuven served as a platform for summing up the results of multilateral dialogue, within which mechanisms for cooperation, financing, and monitoring of water resources were discussed in accordance with the European Union's sustainable development goals.
