In the framework of the present study, the author has concentrated on the judicial practice in relation to the Water Framework Directive, though – due to the relatively short ‘history’ of the Directive and presumably the Member States’ awareness of its significant importance – there are not too many relevant cases. The author has focused on two of the available cases in detail. One of them is Case C‑525/12 initiated by the European Commission against the Federal Republic of Germany and in which quite a few Member States intervened in support of the form of order sought by the Federal Republic of Germany. The other case, C-664/15 was a request for a preliminary ruling from the Verwaltungsgerichtshof (Supreme Administrative Court, Austria) in the legal proceedings between Protect Natur-, Arten- und Landschaftsschutz Umweltorganisation and Bezirkshauptmannschaft Gmünd. In both cases, there are well-grounded interpretations of the provisions of the Water Framework Directive beneficial for legal practice.
