The European Parliament adopted at second reading, in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, a legislative resolution on the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for water reuse.
Following the recommendation for second reading by its Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, Parliament approved the Council position at first reading without amendment. The Council position at first reading reflects the agreement reached between Parliament and the Council in the framework of the interinstitutional negotiations at the early second reading stage.
The proposed Regulation aims to ensure that reclaimed water is safe for agricultural irrigation, thereby:
- ensuring a high level of protection of the environment and human and animal health,
- promoting the circular economy,
- supporting adaptation to climate change and
- contributing to a coordinated response across the Union to the problems of water scarcity and the resulting pressure on water resources and thus contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market.
The proposal defines harmonised minimum requirements for water quality to ensure the safe reuse of treated urban waste water in agricultural irrigation. In order to be used in agriculture, such water, which has already undergone some treatment under the rules of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, would need to undergo additional treatment to meet the minimum quality parameters.
Parliament took note of a Commission statement (annexed to the legislative proposal) in which it acknowledges that microplastics are substances of emerging concern in relation to water quality. In the light hereof and considering that this is a general issue not limited to reclaimed water only, the Commission undertakes to pursue its efforts to further address this important issue.

The Council adopted its position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for water reuse.
The proposed Regulation aims to ensure that reclaimed water is safe for agricultural irrigation, thereby:
- ensuring a high level of protection of the environment and of human and animal health,
- promoting the circular economy,
- supporting adaptation to climate change, and
- contributing to addressing water scarcity and the resulting pressure on water resources, in a coordinated way throughout the Union, thus also contributing to the efficient functioning of the internal market.
The Council's position at first reading reflects the compromise reached in the negotiations between the Council and the European Parliament. It includes the following main elements:
Scope of application
The Council's position stipulates that the minimum water quality and monitoring requirements laid down in the Regulation concern only the use of treated urban waste water for agricultural irrigation.
However, Annex I of the Regulation provides that, without prejudice to the relevant provisions of Union law in the fields of environment and health, Member States may use reclaimed water for other purposes, including industrial, environmental and amenity related purposes.
In addition, the Council's position:
- allows Member States to decide that it is not appropriate to reuse water for agricultural irrigation in one or more of their river basin districts or parts thereof. Member States shall justify their decisions, review them as necessary, at least every six years, and submit them to the Commission. Their decisions shall be made available to the public, online or by other means;
- provides that, under certain conditions, research and pilot projects may be exempted from the application of the Regulation;
- emphasises that the water reuse Regulation applies without prejudice to the legislative framework on food hygiene established by Regulation 852/2004;
- takes into account the multi-barrier approach by specifying that the Regulation on water reuse does not preclude food business operators from obtaining the water quality required to comply with Regulation 852/2004 by applying at a subsequent stage several water treatment options alone or in combination with other non-treatment options or from using other alternative water sources for agricultural irrigation.
Risk management plan
It is clarified that the risk management plan for water reuse shall in particular identify additional barriers in the water reuse system and set out any additional requirements after the point of compliance, necessary to ensure the safety of the water reuse system, including conditions related to distribution, storage and use where relevant, and identify the parties responsible for meeting those requirements.
Minimum requirements for water quality and monitoring
The proposed Regulation aims to protect human and animal health and the environment by setting minimum requirements for both the quality of reclaimed water and for monitoring compliance in combination with harmonisation of key elements of risk management. Those minimum requirements are set out respectively in Annex I and Annex II to the Regulation.
The Council’s position:
- adds a footnote to Table 1 of Annex I stating that ‘If the same type of irrigated crops falls under multiple categories in Table 1, the requirements of the most stringent category shall apply’;
- introduces a provision for validation monitoring. This provision states that validation monitoring must be performed in all cases where equipment is upgraded and when new equipment processes are added. In addition, validation monitoring shall only be carried out for the most stringent reclaimed water quality class;
- specifies in Annex II that micropollutants and microplastics are substances of concern with regard to water quality, and that they shall be given particular consideration in a risk assessment. Substances of emerging concern are mentioned as an aspect that the Commission should pay particular attention in the evaluation.
Possibility to take into account the differences between water reuse systems in the EU
The Council’s position provides flexibility for Member States that practise water reuse for agricultural irrigation as regards the organisation of their water reuse systems. At the same time, it leaves Member States flexibility as regards the responsibilities of the different actors in the water reuse system. It also provides flexibility as it specifies that it is the responsibility of the competent authority in the Member State to determine that compliance of water reuse is restored following procedures defined in the Water Reuse Risk Management Plan.
Furthermore, in order to provide the necessary possibility to adapt to local circumstances, the Council: (i) defines the point of compliance as the point where a reclamation facility operator delivers the reclaimed water to the next actor in the chain and (ii) sets out that the exact point of compliance can be determined in the permit.
In addition, the Council's position:
- provides that the Commission shall, in consultation with the Member States, establish guidelines to support the practical application of the Regulation. It shall present these guidelines within two years of the date of entry into force of the Regulation;
- provides that the competent authorities shall notify the applicant for a permit of the expected date of a decision on the application within 12 months;
- obliges Member States which practise water reuse for agricultural purposes to lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of the Regulation and to take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented;
- obliges Member States in which reclaimed water is used for agricultural irrigation purposes to organise general information and awareness campaigns on the savings in water resources resulting from the reuse of water for agricultural irrigation purposes.
The power conferred on the Commission to adopt delegated acts for the purpose of adapting essential elements of risk management to technical and scientific progress and delegated acts to supplement the Regulation in order to establish technical specifications for risk management ensures that the Regulation remains up to date.

Details
The European Parliament adopted by 588 votes to 23 with 66 abstentions a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for water reuse.
The position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amended the Commission proposal as follows:
Purpose
The proposed regulation lays down minimum requirements for reclaimed water quality and monitoring, and the obligation to carry out specified key risk management tasks, for the safe reuse of treated urban waste water in the context of integrated water management.
Its aim is to guarantee that reclaimed water is safe for its intended use in such a way as to protect human and animal health and the environment while reducing the adverse effects of water resource use and responding in a coordinated manner at EU level to water scarcity and climate change problems.
Member States should ensure that water resources intended for drinking are not contaminated by reused water.
Obligations of reclamation facility operators as regards water quality
Members specified that reclamation facility operators should also ensure that at least the risk management measures set out in the Water Reuse Risk Management Plan are fully implemented within the reclamation facility.
After the point of compliance (i.e. the point where a reclamation facility operator delivers the reclaimed water to the next actor in the chain), water quality would no longer be the responsibility of the operator of the recovery facility and becomes the responsibility of the next actor in the chain.
Obligations of reclaimed water distribution operators, reclaimed water storage operators and end-users
Operators would be required to maintain the level of quality of reclaimed water within the reclaimed water distribution infrastructure at least at the same level of quality as that laid down Annex I to the regulation.
When granting a permit, the competent authority may require further risk management measures to be taken as regards tasks to be carried out by the operators and specify the additional requirements and necessary preventive measures.
Where the end-user suspects that the stored water does not meet the minimum requirements laid down in the regulation, he would be required: (i) to immediately inform the health authority concerned, providing, where appropriate, all available evidence; (ii) to cooperate with the competent authority concerned in order to verify and determine the grounds for the suspicion and the possible presence of unauthorised substances or values.
Reclaimed water (i.e. treated waste water which results from further treatment in a reclamation facility) would be used for irrigation of food crops, processed food crops and non-food crops. Member States could allow reclaimed water for other uses such as industrial water reuse and for recreational and environmental purposes, provided that a high level of protection of human health, animals and the environment is ensured.
No later than one year after the date of entry into force of the regulation, the Commission should adopt delegated acts by introducing a method for measuring the presence of microplastics in reused waters that may be subject to additional requirements.
Compliance check
In the event of non-compliance, the competent authority shall require the reclamation facility operator, the reclaimed water distribution operator, or the reclaimed water storage operator, as applicable, to take any necessary measures to promptly restore compliance and immediately inform the end-users affected.
Information awareness-raising campaigns
Member States shall set up information and awareness raising campaigns targeting potential end-users, including citizens, and concerning the safety of water reuse and the savings of water resources resulting from water reuse. Information campaigns shall be set up for farmers to ensure that they use reclaimed water on crops in an optimal manner, and thereby avoid any adverse health or environmental effects from such use.
Evaluation
The Commission shall, by five years after the date of entry into force of this regulation, carry out an evaluation of this regulation. It shall assess the feasibility of:
- extending the scope of this regulation to reclaimed water intended for further specific uses, including reuse for industrial purposes;
- expanding the requirements of this regulation to cover the indirect use of treated waste water;
- laying down minimum requirements applicable to the quality of treated waste water for the purpose of aquifer recharge.

Details
The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report by Simona BONAFÈ (S&D, IT) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for water reuse.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission's proposal as follows.
Purpose
The proposed Regulation lays down minimum requirements for reclaimed water quality and monitoring, and the obligation to carry out specified key risk management tasks, for the safe reuse of treated urban waste water in the context of integrated water management.
Its aimis to guarantee that reclaimed water is safe for its intended use, thereby ensuring a high level of protection of human and animal health and the environment. Member States shall ensure that water resources used for drinking water purposes are not contaminated with reclaimed water.
Obligations of reclamation facility operators as regards water quality
Reclamation facility operators shall also ensure that at least the risk management measures set out in the Water Reuse Risk Management Plan are fully implemented within the reclamation facility. After the point of compliance, the quality of water shall no longer be the responsibility of the reclamation facility operator, and shall become the responsibility of the next actor in the chain.
Obligations of reclaimed water distribution operators, reclaimed water storage operators and end-users
Reclaimed water (i.e. urban wastewater that has undergone treatment in a reclamation facility) shall be used to irrigate food crops, processed food crops and non-food crops. Member States may allow reclaimed water to be used in other ways, such as industrial water reuse and for amenity-related and environmental purposes, provided that human health, animals and the environment are thoroughly protected.
The Commission shall establish guidance documents to assist the competent authorities in the implementation of the requirements relating to control and monitoring of the production, distribution, storage and use of the reclaimed water.
Risk management
For the purpose of ensuring safe production, distribution, storage and use of reclaimed water, the competent authority shall oversee risk management in consultation with the following actors: (i) the reclamation facility operator; (ii) the reclaimed water distribution operator; (iii) the reclaimed water storage operator.
Risk management methods used by the reclamation facility operator, the reclaimed water distribution operator and the reclaimed water storage operator shall be based on internationally recognised methodologies.
Application for a permit to produce, distribute and store reclaimed water
Any production, distribution or storage of reclaimed water destined for a use specified in section 1 of Annex I, shall be subject to a permit.
A reclamation facility operator shall submit an application for the permit, or for a modification of an existing permit, to the competent authority of the Member State in which the reclamation facility operates or is planned to operate.
Compliance check
In the event of non-compliance, the competent authority shall require the reclamation facility operator, the reclaimed water distribution operator, or the reclaimed water storage operator, as applicable, to take any necessary measures to promptly restore compliance and immediately inform the end-users affected.

PURPOSE: to contribute to alleviating water scarcity across the EU, in particular by increasing the uptake of water reuse, in particular for agricultural irrigation.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: a third of the EU's land suffers from water stress all year round and water scarcity remains an important concern for many EU Member States. Increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, including severe droughts, are also likely to have negative consequences on both the quantity and quality of freshwater resources. Between 1976 and 2006, the number of areas and people affected by droughts went up by almost 20% and the total costs of droughts amounted to EUR 100 billion (EC, 2012).
Agricultural irrigation by far is the largest application of reused water worldwide and in Europe and a significant use of water in Europe, overall accounting for around a quarter of total freshwater abstracted.
By encouraging the reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation , the EU could therefore improve its capacity to respond to increasing pressures on water resources.
The need to address the problem at EU level has been acknowledged in the 2012 Commission Communication ‘A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe's Water Resources’. A Fitness check of EU Freshwater policy published in November 2012 as a building block of the Blueprint, concluded that ‘alternative water supply options with low environmental impact need to be further relied upon’ in order to address water scarcity.
Furthermore, the European Parliament, in its September 2015 Resolution on the follow-up to the European Citizens’ Initiative Right2Water encouraged the Commission to draw up a legislative framework on water reuse. Two instruments in force in the Union encourage the reuse of water, without however specifying the conditions in this respect. These are the Water Framework Directive ( 2000/60/EC ) and the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive ( 91/271/EEC ).
IMPACT ASSESSMENT: t he preferred option for agricultural irrigation is a legal instrument with a ‘fit for purpose’ approach (minimum requirements set depending on the food crop category and irrigation technique) and protection of local public health and of the environment (the key risk management tasks). It is estimated that the proposed instrument could lead to 6.6 billion m3 of water per year being reused for agricultural irrigation, compared to 1.7 billion m3 if the EU did not establish a legal framework.
CONTENT: the Regulation proposed by the Commission aims to mitigate water shortages in the EU, in the context of adaptation to climate change . It would ensure that treated waste water for agricultural irrigation is safe, protecting people and the environment.
More specifically, the proposal:
defines the minimum water quality and monitoring requirements to be met and the obligation to perform certain essential risk management tasks in order to enable the safe reuse of urban waste water as part of integrated water management. These requirements should consist of a minimum of parameters for reclaimed water and other stricter or additional quality requirements, imposed, if necessary, by the competent authorities together with appropriate preventive measures; defines the process of risk management that should be carried out by the operator of a reclamation plant in cooperation with relevant parties (the end-user of the reclaimed water, the urban waste water treatment plant supplying water to the reclamation plant, etc.). The reclamation plant operator shall elaborate a water reuse risk management plan identifying additional requirements to further mitigate risks, which would be part of a permit issued by the competent authority; ensure transparency and access to information in order to increase user and public confidence in the safety of reused water: the public will have access to information online about water reuse practice in their Member States. With regard to access to justice, it should be possible for citizens and NGOs to legally review the decisions taken by Member States under this Regulation.
The proposed Regulation sets the date of entry into force and the date of application, i.e. one year after the date of entry into force in order to provide sufficient time to the Member States to adapt to the Regulation, as well as to elaborate an implementing act ensuring the uniform application of the risk management.

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on “A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe's Water Resources” 17 pointed to water reuse for irrigation or industrial purposes as an alternative water supply option requiring Union attention
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from urban waste water treatment plants or industrial installations, is considered, according to the latest scientific knowledge on the subject, to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from public urban waste water treatment plants or public industrial installations, is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination, but such reuse only occurs to a limited extent in the Union. This appears to be partly due to the lack of common Union environmental or health standards for water reuse, and, as regards

Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from urban waste water treatment plants or industrial installations, is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination, but such reuse only occurs to a limited extent in the Union. This appears to be partly due to the significant cost of waste water reuse systems and the lack of common Union environmental or health standards for water reuse, and, as regards in particular agricultural products, the potential obstacles to the free movement of such products irrigated with reclaimed water.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from urban waste water treatment plants or industrial installations, is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination, but such reuse only occurs to a limited extent in the Union. This appears to be partly due to the lack of common Union environmental or health standards for water reuse, and, as regards in particular agricultural products, the potential obstacles to the free movement of such products irrigated with reclaimed water. It should be emphasised that many agricultural sectors depend on irrigation and that the use of treated water necessarily promotes predominantly supply-side water reclamation activities typified by a natural monopoly situation. A degree of public control over water treatment or reclamation plant operators is therefore essential in order to avoid abuse of a dominant position.
Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from urban waste water treatment plants or industrial installations, is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination
Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) If the effective reuse of urban waste water resources is to be guaranteed, it must be acknowledged that not all types of recycled water can be used for all crops. Farmers must therefore be trained to use the various types of recycled water in an optimum way for crops in respect of which the quality of the water used has no public health implications.
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Health standards in relation to food hygiene for agricultural products irrigated with reclaimed water can be achieved only if quality requirements for reclaimed water destined for agricultural irrigation do not differ significantly in Member States.
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Health standards in relation to food hygiene for agricultural products irrigated with reclaimed water can be achieved only if quality requirements for reclaimed water destined for agricultural irrigation do not differ significantly in Member States. These requirements should be reflected in tests on reclaimed water which cover all currently known substances. Harmonisation of requirements will also contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal market in relation to such products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce minimum harmonisation by setting minimum requirements for water quality and monitoring. Those minimum requirements should consist of minimum parameters for reclaimed water and other stricter or additional quality requirements imposed, if necessary, by competent authorities together with any relevant preventive measures. In order to identify stricter or additional requirements for water quality, the reclamation plant operators should perform key risk management tasks. The parameters are based on the technical report of the Commission Joint Research Center and reflect the international standards on water reuse.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Health standards in relation to food hygiene for agricultural products irrigated with reclaimed water can be achieved only if quality requirements for reclaimed water destined for agricultural irrigation do not differ significantly in Member States. Harmonisation of requirements will also contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal market in relation to such products. It is therefore appropriate to introduce minimum harmonisation by setting minimum requirements for water quality and monitoring, while allowing Member States to go further and have higher standards. Those minimum requirements should consist of minimum parameters for reclaimed water and other stricter or additional quality requirements imposed, if necessary, by competent authorities together with any relevant preventive measures. In order to identify stricter or additional requirements for water quality, the reclamation plant operators should perform key risk management tasks. The parameters are based on the technical report of the Commission Joint Research Center and reflect the international standards on water reuse.

Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) In order to effectively protect the environment and human health, distributors and reclamation plant operators should be primarily responsible for the quality of reclaimed and distributed water. For the purposes of compliance with the minimum requirements and any additional conditions, set by the competent authority, reclamation plant operators and distributors should monitor the quality of reclaimed water. It is therefore appropriate to establish the minimum requirements for monitoring, consisting of the frequencies of the routine monitoring and the timing and performance targets for validation monitoring. Certain requirements for routine monitoring are specified in accordance with Directive 91/271/EEC.

Proposal for a regulation 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. 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. Member States should be given the possibility of imposing minimum public holdings of operators' share capital in order to avoid monopolistic practices that would jeopardise agricultural activity dependent on irrigation.
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) It is necessary to ensure the safe use of reclaimed water, thereby encouraging the development of water reuse at Union level, encouraging EU farmers to adopt this practice 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. 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, whose competent authorities are themselves responsible for assessing the risks linked to water reuse. 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.

Supply and use of reclaimed water for particular uses should therefore only be permitted on the basis of a permit, granted by competent authorities of Member States. 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.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) The provisions of this Regulation are complementary to the requirements of other Union legislation, in particular with regard to possible health and environmental risks. In order to ensure a holistic approach to addressing possible human and animal health, and environmental risks, the public bodies owning reclamation plant
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Regulation (EC) 852/2004 lays down general rules for food business operators and covers the production, processing, distribution and placing on the market of food intended for human consumption. That Regulation addresses the health quality of food and one of its main principles is that the primary responsibility for food safety is borne by the food business operator. That Regulation is also subject to detailed guidance, of particular relevance being the Commission Notice on guidance document on addressing microbiological risks in fresh fruits and vegetables at primary production through good hygiene (2017/C 163/01). The performance targets for reclaimed water laid down in this Regulation do not preclude food business operators from obtaining the water quality required to comply with Regulation 852/2004

Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 b (new) (14b) It is necessary to enhance the quality and quantity of monitoring, evaluation and information, above all in areas where the environment is suffering the effects of highly pollutant industrial and agricultural activities and which are lagging behind in the construction of sewage systems and waste water collection and reclamation plants, thereby infringing European legislation.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) In order to adapt the existing minimum requirements and the key risk management tasks to scientific and technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to amend the minimum requirements and the key risk management tasks, without compromising the scope for reusing properly treated waste water. Moreover, in order to ensure a high level of protection of the environment and human health, the Commission should also be able to adopt delegated acts supplementing the key risk management tasks by laying down technical specifications. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 37 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) The competent authorities of the Member States should periodically determine and update the water balance to ensure that available or usable resources in a given reference area are balanced with the requirements for various uses, including irrigation. As part of this planning, which seeks to maintain the integrity of the environmental heritage while safeguarding the rights of future generations, actions should be planned to promote the reuse of reclaimed urban waste water.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) A particular problem in many areas is the age and poor condition of the treated-water distribution infrastructure, leading to huge loss of that treated water and the attendant waste of the finance invested in that treatment; an upgrading of all such pipe infrastructure should thus be a priority.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council “Addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union”18 sets out the hierarchy of measures that Member States should consider in managing water scarcity and droughts. It states that in regions where all preventive measures have been implemented according to the water hierarchy and where demand for water still exceeds availability, additional water supply infrastructure can, in some circumstances and taking into account of the cost benefit dimension, serve as an alternative approach to mitigate the impacts of severe drought.
Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) The European Parliament resolution of 9 October2008 on addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union1a recalls that a demand-side approach should be preferred when managing water resources and takes the view that the Union should adopt a holistic approach when managing water resources, combining measures of demand management, measures to optimise existing resources within the water cycle, and measures to create new resources, and that the approach needs to integrate environmental, social and economic considerations. __________________ 1a 2008/2074(INI) http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getD oc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P6-TA- 2008- 0473+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language= EN

Amendment 135 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) The Commission and the Member States should, at the same time, promote efficiency in the use of water resources and support measures to rationalise consumption and eliminate waste, for example by promoting the dissemination of innovative water saving methods and technologies in the agricultural sector, such as high-efficiency irrigation systems which significantly reduce the abstraction of drinking water for agricultural purposes and the energy expended for its abstraction and use.
Amendment 136 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Reuse of treated waste water is a possible solution to be implemented at territory or catchment area level as part of an integrated approach to the management of water as a resource, with a view, in particular, to reducing water abstraction and its environmental impact and tailoring water-intensive practices to the climate, the territory and its resources. Water reuse should maximise the use of abstracted water and focus on protecting sensitive areas. Reuse should be part of a sensible and environmentally friendly approach. Increasing reuse will be worthwhile only if it helps to reduce the pressure on water resources and does not create or exacerbate imbalances in those resources. Reuse of waste water may, in some cases, be inappropriate and should always be consistent with the objective of protecting the environment, human and animal health and aquatic environments, given that it could, for example, affect efforts to safeguard water courses.
Amendment 137 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Reuse of appropriately treated waste water, for example from urban waste water treatment plants or industrial installations, is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other alternative water supply methods, such as water transfers or desalination, but such reuse only occurs to a limited extent in the Union. This appears to be partly due to the significant cost of waste water reuse systems and the lack of common Union environmental or health standards for water reuse, and, as regards in particular agricultural products, the potential obstacles to the free movement of such products irrigated with re

Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The reuse of adequately treated reclaimed urban waste water for irrigation purposes pursuant to this Regulation should be environmentally friendly. It should not, therefore, result in increased nitrogen and phosphorus release, as excess of such nutrients leads to the eutrophication of soils and surface and ground water bodies, damaging ecosystems and contributing to the reduction of biodiversity.
Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) Member States should carry out information campaigns to make potential end users and citizens aware of the need to use that type of water as part of a circular economy approach.
Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 b (new) (6b) To ensure effective use of treated urban waste water, farmers must be kept informed so that they use reused water correctly on crops for which the quality of the water used has no public health implications, as not all reused water is good for every crop.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The presence of microplastics may pose a risk to human health and the environment. Therefore, as part of an in- depth review of the sources, distribution, fate and effects of microplastics in the context of waste water treatment, the Commission should develop a methodology for measuring microplastics in urban waste water treated in accordance with Directive 91/271/EEC and reclaimed under this Regulation.
Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The use of insufficiently cleaned waste water for public services (such as street cleaning or irrigation of parks and golf courses) can be harmful to health. The Commission should therefore set medium-term quality targets regarding the reuse of water for public services with a view to protecting human and animal health and the quality of groundwater and surface water.
Amendment 153 #

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) The adherence to minimum requirements for water reuse should be consistent with Union water policy and help support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular Goal 6, to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all as well as a substantial increase in recycling and safe reuse of water globally. Furthermore, this Regulation seeks to ensure the application of Article 37 on environmental protection of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Amendment 156 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) In order to ensure the sustainable management of water resources and a significant reduction in water wastage whilst at the same time reducing per capita drinking water requirements and making savings on energy bills, residential rainwater harvesting should be supported. This Regulation should therefore encourage such harvesting and indicate certain uses for rainwater without prejudice to the option available to Member States to determine further uses for it.
Amendment 157 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Member States shall ensure the necessary protection for waters used for the abstraction of drinking water, or intended for such use, from the use of reclaimed water, in order to avoid deterioration in their quality. For this purpose, Member States may establish safeguard zones for those bodies of water.
Amendment 158 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) The quality of water intended for human consumption is protected by the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the quality of water intended for human consumption (recast), which should provide universal access to water for human consumption for everyone in the EU and promote it by all means.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11a) Supply and storage of reclaimed water as well as its use by end-users constitute the integral part of the water reuse system. Within the process of supply and storage the reclaimed water can suffer changes that can negatively affect its chemical and biological quality. Reclaimed water intended for agricultural irrigation should be appropriately used with respect to the classes of reclaimed water, the crops characteristics and irrigation methods. Key risk management tasks should take into account the potential adverse effects on health and environmental matrices associated with the supply, storage and intended use of reclaimed water. In this respect European Commission should establish Guidance documents to assist the competent authorities to fulfil the control and monitoring of the supply, storage and use of the reclaimed water.
