Details

The rapporteur, Mr Eisma (ELDR, NL), took the view that urgent action was required to resolve the unsatisfactory manner in which Community measures relating to the quality of bathing water were being applied. Any revision of the 1976 Directive should be aimed at strengthening the standards applying in this area. The rapporteur proposed that the Directive should protect other users, such as windsurfers and divers, who were frequently in contact with water. He also tabled amendments aimed at reducing effluent discharge (from sewers, etc.) and wanted to see the ‘blue flag’ system retained, or at least some similar system of quality assurance. Finally, he approved of the Commission’s proposal concerning the annexed parameters, but with one exception, namely the parameter relating to faecal streptococcus, which was now out-of-date because of rapid developments in modern technology. The Commissioner, Mrs Bjerregaard, had informed Parliament that she was prepared to accept most of the amendments tabled by the rapporteur, including those providing for stricter standards for faecal streptococcus.

Any revision of the 1976 Directive should be aimed at strengthening the standards applying in this area. The rapporteur proposed that the Directive should protect other users, such as windsurfers and divers, who were frequently in contact with water. He also tabled amendments aimed at reducing effluent discharge (from sewers, etc.) and wanted to see the ‘blue flag’ system retained, or at least some similar system of quality assurance. Finally, he approved of the Commission’s proposal concerning the annexed parameters, but with one exception, namely the parameter relating to faecal streptococcus, which was now out-of-date because of rapid developments in modern technology. The Commissioner, Mrs Bjerregaard, had informed Parliament that she was prepared to accept most of the amendments tabled by the rapporteur, including those providing for stricter standards for faecal streptococcus.
