Fianna Fail and the UEN Group today do not support amendments regarding:
(a) The deletion of a new ‘sufficient’ classification introduced and agreed upon in the Council during the Irish Presidency in June 2004 in Annex I
and
(b) The erasing of the distinction between inland and coastal waters, again agreed upon in Council by the Irish Presidency.
Under the existing Directive of 1976 (76/160/EEC), the majority of Member States support the ‘sufficient’ classification as this classification establishes realistic, enforceable standards with a minimum legally binding requirement that will apply to all bathing waters in all Member States. In addition, I feel that it will serve as a stepping stone and strong incentive to work towards achievement of the ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ classification.
With regard to classifications for coastal waters, we support the distinction between it and fresh waters, as coastal waters have lower permissible levels of contamination than those for inland waters."@en1
