Recital 11
(11) It is necessary to ensure the safe use of reclaimed water, thereby encouraging water reuse at Union level and enhancing public confidence in it. Supply of reclaimed water for particular uses should therefore only be permitted, on the basis of a permit, granted by competent authorities of Member States. Where an environmental impact assessment has concluded on the need for certain infrastructure, national timeframes shall be put in place for the delivery of this infrastructure in order to uphold public health and environmental standards. Such timeframes shall take into consideration the timeline for the grant of permits in the Member State, but shall not be longer than 24 months. In order to ensure harmonised approach at Union level, traceability and transparency, the substantive rules for that permit should be laid down at the Union level. However, the details of the procedures for granting permits should be determined by Member States. Member States should be able to apply existing procedures for granting permits which should be adapted to take account of the requirements introduced by this Regulation.
