lpv:translated text	". This report on bathing water quality is very important to my country. The Portuguese coastline stretches for many miles, and bathing in the water is a very popular pastime. The same is true of some inland bathing water areas. The requirements that must be met in order to ensure the safe use of designated bathing water areas encompass not only access, infrastructures and safety on the beaches, but also, to an increasing extent, the quality of the water. The quality of bathing water thus represents both a health issue and an important indicator of environmental quality and tourism development. Nevertheless, I cannot agree with the proposal made in the report to scrap the distinction between coastal waters and inland waters, because there are differences between these two types. I am also opposed to the removal of the ‘sufficient’ classification, which gives Member States greater room for manoeuvre in terms of managing the suitability of bathing water. Adopting these two amendments would have serious repercussions for Portugal, given the disproportionate costs involved in relation to the benefits gained."@en1
