Restructuring the entire arsenal of legislation on water and guaranteeing greater integration of the various policies: Such is the aim of the European Commission 's eagerly-awaited Communication on ' European Community water policy '(COM(96)59). This Communication - and the reactions it will elicit - should lead, before the year' s end, to the tabling of a framework Directive on water resources, which is, for the first time, to be extended to the quantitive aspect of water management
