The project will result in the following outputs: Assessment of legal, institutional and practical barriers to and opportunities for implementation of public access to environmental information and public participation measures in Hungary and Slovenia that will lead to reductions in discharges from point and non-point sources of transboundary nutrient and toxic pollutants to the Danube River;   Identification of examples of legal, institutional and practical options for addressing these barriers from the EU, the U.S., and countries in transition, through training workshops, study tours, and technical assistance activities. These options will include an examination of specific national legislation, regulations, policies and practices;   Field testing of specific, replicable public involvement measures to address point and non-point pollutant discharges to the Danube in Hungary and Slovenia, using case studies to concretely demonstrate how such public involvement measures can further the goals of the SAP;   Recommendations for follow-up actions to ensure the transfer of pilot project lessons learned and replicable elements to other Danube countries in CEE, leading to greater reductions in point and non-point transboundary pollution throughout the Danube region;   Strengthened inter-governmental and government-to-NGO cooperation and partnerships to enable joint learning on viable approaches to public participation in the context of control and prevention of point and non-point transboundary water pollution.
