Dear Ambassador Søren Jacobsen,

We, the undersigned representatives of environmental and health civil society organisations, healthcare professionals, social partners, recreational fishing associations, and businesses relying on clean and healthy water, are writing to you, as Presidency chair, to urge the prompt adoption of the proposed new EU water pollution standards1 . With this letter, we are also expressing our deep concern about ongoing attempts to weaken and delay the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD).
