Dear Water Directors,
On behalf of the undersigning organisations, we are writing to you ahead of the meeting of Water and Marine Directors’ where the Commission’s proposal to update the lists of priority pollutants of surface and groundwater will be discussed on 14 June. We urge you to instruct your colleagues involved in the negotiations to reject provisions which further weaken the Commission’s proposal in particular by making substantial changes to basic principles of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), thus undermining the fitness check evaluation of the WFD and resulting in delayed action on tackling water pollution.
