This is the group photo of the first ever European meeting of professionals related with the water jetting industry. It is quite difficult to go over all the topics of conversation on just a few lines.

Here are the key issues that were the centre of debate:

                                                  • Accreditation of Companies for Water Jetting Activities

                                                  • Certification of Workers, for Training and Skills

                                                  • Standardisation of Products used for Water Jetting

                                                  • Experiences of the National Associations

                                                  • Code of Practice and Safety Standards for Water Jetting

                                                  • Roadmap for the Water Jetting Activities in Europe
