    Initiative summary:
    The Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive is a cornerstone of EU water policy. It protects the environment and human health from the adverse effects of wastewater discharges. Although the Directive has been overall effective, its evaluation identified a few shortcomings and new societal needs that could be improved. The revision of the Directive will aim to address these shortcomings and to ensure that citizens and the environment continue to benefit from high levels of protection.
