(3a) Measures to reduce emissions must accord with the ‘polluter pays’ principle. Emissions should therefore, if possible, already be prevented at the immediate source and not only after they have already entered surface water.

(4) The Commission has conducted a review of the list of priority substances according to Article 16(4) of Directive 2000/60/EC and to Article 8 of Directive 2008/105/EC and come to the conclusion that it is appropriate to amend the list of priority substances by identifying new substances for priority action at Union level, setting EQS for them, or removing existing substances from the list and updating according to scientific progress the EQS for some existing substances, and setting biota EQS for some existing and new priority substances.

(6) Numerous Union acts have been adopted since the adoption of Directive 2000/60/EC, which constitute emission control measures in accordance with Article 16 of that Directive for individual priority substances. Moreover, many environmental protection measures fall under the scope of other existing Union legislation. Therefore, priority should be given to implementing and revising existing instruments rather than establishing new controls. The inclusion of a substance in Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC is without prejudicemust not run counter to the application of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC or permits issued on the basis thereof.

(6) Numerous Union acts have been adopted since the adoption of Directive 2000/60/EC, which constitute emission control measures in accordance with Article 16 of that Directive for individual priority substances. Moreover, many environmental protection measures fall under the scope of other existing Union legislation. Therefore, priority should be given to implementing and revising existing instruments rather than establishing new controls. In order to adopt a coherent and coordinated legal instrument concerning priority hazardous substances, it is necessary to establish which measures pertain to what stage in the life cycle of a substance and to demonstrate that, taken collectively, the measures bring about a demonstrable improvement in the environment. The inclusion of a substance in Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC is without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC.

It would be appropriate to take a consistent policy approach regarding pharmaceutical substances, taking into consideration the full societal and medical implications, in full consultation with all relevant stakeholders. To this end, the Commission will produce a report with possible legislative proposals on the environmental effects of pharmaceutical substances for human use in waters and soils, under Directive 2010/84/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2010 amending, as regards pharmacovigilance, Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use1 and Regulation (EU) No. 1235/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2010 amending, as regards pharmacovigilance of medicinal products for human use, Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency, and Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 on advanced therapy medicinal products2. The inclusion of a substance in Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC is without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC. _______________ 1 OJ L 348, 31.12.2010, p. 74 2 OJ L 348, 31.12.2010, p. 1

Recital 12
(12) Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances (PBTs) and other substances that behave like PBTpriority hazardous substances may be found for decades in the aquatic environment at levels posing a significant risk, even ifalthough extensive measures to reduce or eliminate emissions have already been taken, particularly at European level. Some are also capable of long-range transport and are largely ubiquitous in the environment. Several such substances are among the existing and proposed priority hazardous substances and, because of their long-term ubiquity, some of them need special consideration as regards their impact on the presentation. Only in rare cases can these substances be reduced effectively by means of measures at local or regional level. For these substances, international efforts are needed in order to reduce them on a global scale. These substances need special consideration with reference to their long-term impact on the environment, their observation, their influence ofn chemical status under Directive 2000/60/EC and as regards monitoring requirements.

Article 8
Article 8
The Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council the outcome of the regular review of Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC provided for in Article 16(4) of that Directive. It shall accompany the report, if appropriate, with relevant proposals, in particular proposals to identify new priority substances or priority hazardous substances or to identify certain priority substances as priority hazardous substances and to set corresponding EQS for surface water, sediment or biota, as appropriate. Regular reviews should allow for the possibility, on the basis of scientific data, to adjust quality standards applicable to listed substances or to remove them from the list. If the review shows that a substance listed as a priority substance in Annex X to Directive 2000/60/EC does not present a significant risk to the aquatic environment pursuant to Article 16(2), the Commission should propose that the substance be deleted from Annex X.

Article 8 b – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
The watch list shall contain no more than 25 substances or groups of substances at any given time and shall indicate the monitoring matrix for each substance. The substances shall be selected from among those for which the available information indicates that they may pose a significant risk at Union level to or via the aquatic environment and for which high- quality monitoring data and data concerning ecotoxicological effects are required for the risk assessment. In selecting the substances for the watch list the Commission shall take into account all available scientific information including research projects, Member States' characterisation and monitoring programmes under Articles 5 and 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC and information on production volumes, use patterns, concentrations in the environment and effects, including that gathered in accordance with Directives 98/8/EC, 2001/82/EC and 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, and with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
