Integrated Water Management – revised lists of surface and groundwater pollutants
Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Directive 2000/60/EC establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy, Directive 2006/118/EC on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration and Directive 2008/105/EC on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy
- Initiative summary:
- A recent fitness check concluded that water legislation is broadly fit for purpose, with room for improvement related to investments, implementation, integrating water into other policies, chemical pollution, administrative simplification and digitalisation. This initiative will address the findings in relation to chemical pollution and the obligation to review regularly priority substances and groundwater pollutants. This contributes to the zero pollution ambition of the European Green Deal.
