The EU has begun applying Aarhus type principles in its legislation, notably the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000 60 EC).

The provisions of the European Union Water Framework Directive and some 150 bilateral and multilateral agreements supplement these instruments.

The directive establishing a general framework for equal treatment in the workplace and the professions was adopted in October 2000.

The ultimate goal of the project is adoption of new water sector legislation, harmonized with that of the EU, particularly the Framework Directive on Water (Directive 2000 60 EC, European Parliament and Council, of 23 October 2000).
