".
The precautionary principle must be applied with regard to protecting groundwater against pollution, and this is currently laid down in Directive 80/68/EC, until 2013.
The protection should thereafter be continued through what is known as the Water Framework Directive, of 2000, and through the directive now receiving its first reading.
Among the various different opinions on what approach to take, the report advocates that quality standards should be based on human and eco-toxicological criteria and points out that when setting quality standards the Member States may take into account the levels of substances naturally present in water. The rapporteur points out, however, that the new legislation must maintain at least the current level of protection, and that prevention should be a key element.
There must subsequently be the political will to take the necessary measures aimed at preventing pollution and protecting groundwater quality."@en1
