(7a) In order to be consistent with the objective to cease or phase out emissions of priority hazardous substances, interim EQS should be set, providing for an incentive for a continuous decrease to background values for naturally occurring substances and zero for man- made synthetic substances.

Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) In recent years there has been an increasing focus on the effects on human health and on the environment arising from exposure to many different chemicals. Discharges to the environment during the production, transport, use or disposal often contain a large number of chemicals. The requirements of Directive 2000/60/EC for water bodies to achieve a good chemical status entails a focus not only on the concentration of individual chemicals but also on their effects in combination. It is therefore appropriate to reflect this in the derivation of the EQS.

Recital 10 b (new)
(10b) The listing of substances as priority substance or priority hazardous substances is based among other things on scientific evaluation of the properties of the substance. In order to safeguard the integrity and credibility of the listing process, political concerns or associated costs of measures should not be used to prevent a substance from being listed as a priority substance or priority hazardous substance, but rather are to be adressed at the subsequent stage after listing a particular substance or group of substances.

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) A new mechanism is needed to provide the Commission with targeted high-quality monitoring information on the concentration of substances in the aquatic environment, with a focus on emerging pollutants and substances for which available monitoring data are not of sufficient quality for the purpose of risk assessment. The new mechanism should facilitate the gathering of that information across Union river basins. In order to maintain the monitoring costs at reasonable levels, the mechanism should focus on a limited number of subsbut to ensure that the monitoring is effective, the mechanism should focus on substances with inherent hazard properties and emerging pollutancets, included temporarily in a watch list, and a limited number of monitoring sites, but deliver representative data that are fit for the purpose of the Union prioritisation process. The list should be dynamic, to respond to new information on the potential risks posed by emerging pollutants and avoid monitoring substances for longer than necessary.

If the results of the monitoring demonstrate that the substances in the watch list is detected in at least 3 Member States, and may give rise to concern, the Commission shall include it in Annex I and take the appropriate control measures.
