23 and 24 May 2007 the ICPR staged a workshop on the issue of "Micro-pollutions from municipal water management" in Bonn. About 60 experts, representatives of the competent authorities in the Rhine bordering countries and representatives of the NGO in the field of drinking water production, industry and environment protection took part in the workshop. On the one hand the target of the workshop was to exchange information on the state of knowledge and discussion in the states. On the other hand, the workshop aimed at preparing the drafting of a strategy on how to treat micro-pollutions from the point of view of water protection.
