European Commission publish today his latest report on WFD implementation
25 februar 2019
EU Commission’s latest report on its implementation, published today, paints a bleak picture. Despite the EU’s strong water legislation, Europe’s rivers are suffering.
Although some progress has been made, Member States are not on track to bring Europe’s rivers, lakes, wetlands, streams, groundwater, transitional and coastal waters to good health by 2027.
The report provides yet more evidence that Member States are seriously undermining their legal commitments and, in doing so, threatening the availability of water for nature and for people.
You can access the European Commission’s reports here, but not all are available yet. For now there are links only to the short report from the Commission.
