Aqua Publica Europea (APE) and the International Association of Water Service Companies in the Danube River Catchment Area (IAWD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to seize potential synergies between the two organisations with the ultimate goal of strengthening services for their members.

Aqua Publica Europea has grown even stronger with the addition of four new members: Acque Veronesi (Verona, IT), Alto Trevigiano Servizi (Treviso, IT), Viacqua (Vicenza, IT) and Eaux de Vienne (Touraine, FR).

On 6 December, Bernard Van Nuffel, President of Aqua Publica Europea, joined the third panel session of the European Forum on the Regulation of Water Services (EFRW) organised in Brussels by WAREG, the association of European Regulators in the drinking water and wastewater sector.

The members of Aqua Publica Europea set the issue of drought and water scarcity as one of the key priorities of the organisation. Building on previous exchanges of experiences and public debates with stakeholders, a new publication from Aqua Publica Europea explores the strategies and approaches that public water operators can deploy to address this critical issue.   

On 20 November 2023, Aqua Publica Europea participated in an event dedicated to “The EU Green Deal as a Growth Strategy: Contributions and expectations from SGIs at the heart of the transition”. The event was hosted at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels.
