Article 12 a (new)
Article 12 a (new)
Article 12 a Derogations 1. Member States may in the case of: (a) the establishing of a new water supply area, (b) water supply area of supply which, as of the date of accession of a Member State to the European Union, did not comply with the water quality parameters, (c) setting new parameters or new values for existing parameters; provide for derogations from the parametric values set out in Annex I, Part B or established in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 paragraph 3 up to the maximum value to be determined by them, provided that no derogation presents a potential danger to human health and provided that the supply of water intended for human consumption in the area concerned cannot be maintained by any other legitimate means. Derogations are limited to the shortest possible period, which may not exceed three years, and at the end of the review, to determine whether sufficient progress has been achieved. Where a Member State intends to grant a second derogation, it shall notify the Commission of the review with the reasons for the decision on the second derogation. The second derogation may not exceed three years. 2. All derogations granted in accordance with paragraph 1 shall contain the following information: (a) the reasons for the derogation; (b) the parameter for which the derogation is granted, the results of the previous relevant monitoring and the maximum limit value under the derogation; (c) the geographical area, the amount of water supplied each day, the population concerned and whether this would affect all relevant food production businesses; (d) an appropriate monitoring system, with an increased monitoring frequency, if necessary; (e) a summary of the plan to carry out the necessary remedial actions, including work schedule and cost assessment and review provisions; and(f) the required period for granting the derogation. 3. If the competent authority considers non-compliance with the parametric values to be negligible and if the corrective measures taken in accordance with Article 12 paragraph 2 are sufficient to solve the problem within a maximum of 30 days, the requirements of paragraph 2 of this article shall not be given in derogation. In this case, the competent authorities or other authorities indicated in the derogation set only the maximum allowable value for a given parameter and the deadline set for solving the problem. 4. Referring to paragraph 3 is forbidden, if the failure to meet any of the parametric values for a given water supply occurred more than jointly for 30 days during the twelve preceding months. 5. Any Member State which has made use of the derogations provided for in this Article shall ensure that the population concerned by such a derogation is briefly and adequately informed about the derogation and the rules governing them. In addition, the Member State shall, where necessary, provide advice to specific groups of the population for which the derogation may pose a particular risk. These obligations are not applicable in the circumstances described in paragraph 3, unless the competent authorities decide otherwise. 6. With the exception of derogations granted in accordance with paragraph 3 Member State shall, within two months, notify the Commission of any derogation granted for individual water deliveries exceeding an average of 1 000 m3 per day or for more than 5 000 persons, including the communication of the information specified in paragraph 2. 7. This Article shall not apply to water intended for human consumption offered for sale in bottles or containers.

Note 2: The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. The number of inhabitants in a supply zone may be used instead of the volume of water to determine the minimum frequency, assuming water consumption of 200 l/(day*capita). Note 3: The frequency indicated is calculated as follows: e.g. 4300 m3/d = 16 samples (four for the first 1000 m3/d + 12 for additional 3300 m3/d). Note 4: Member States that have decided to exempt individual supplies under Article 3(2)(b) shall apply these frequencies only for supply zones that distribute between 10 and 100 m3 per day.
