National Mekong Committees. Each country has a National Mekong Committee (NMC), but they are established under national riparian laws, not by the Agreement. The NMCs formulate national policies in relation to the MRC, act as co-ordinators between the nations and the MRC and implement MRC programs in their respective nations. Since it is left to the discretion of each country as to how the NMC is structured, this varies among the different countries. The Thai NMC is composed of officials from different water ministries and other relevant government departments and chaired by the Prime Minister. In Cambodia the NMC is also composed of officials from water ministries and other relevant government departments and institutions related to water, but there is a standing national institution with a fully-fledged secretariat headed by a full-time Secretary. The situation in Laos and Vietnam is similar to that in Cambodia.149 The inclusion of ministers from relevant water related departments assists in ensuring integration of water management. Annual work programs of the MRC are given to the NMCs for review before they are submitted to the Joint Committee and the Council for approval which helps to ensure that national priorities are reflected in the programs.150 However, there is no clear and defined relationship between the MRC and the NMCs. The Agreement does not mention NMCs, but in the Agreement on Procedures for Notification, Prior Consultation and Agreement and in the Procedures for Water Use Monitoring they have been given certain functions as links in the processes of notification and prior consultation and of monitoring.151
