lpv:spoken text	". Although I support the report, I wish to make known certain reservations pertaining to same. Ireland's derogation for domestic water charges is not as strong as I would want it to be. The key provisions – Art. 9, paragraph 4 – state that a Member State "shall not be in breach of this Directive" if a decision not to introduce domestic water charges based on "established practice does not compromise the purposes and the achievement of the objectives of this Directive". It follows from this paragraph that a decision not to impose water charges would be in breach of the Directive if it can be linked to the Irish Government's failure to meet the new standards. I have no confidence, given the Irish Government's failure to date, that they will reach the standards set."@en1
