The Basin Committee also monitors the implementation of the SDAGE and sets the main agenda of the water agency, while proposing, for instance, the amount of revenues taken inby the agency and passing the multiyear programme of the water agency (priorities, procedures for subsidies, etc.), This commission is also consulted for any project contemplating a delegation of service delivery or the creation of a utility with financial autonomy. Formal consultations often leave the public in a contestatory role and ignore the silent majority, focusing on the more vociferous minority of the population.
