". Labour MEPs want to see further improvements in the quality of bathing water and welcomes the opportunity to update the bathing water directive almost 30 years after the existing directive came into force. However, they did not support amendments in two key areas.
Firstly, on the deletion of the sufficient standard, Labour MEPs cannot support this because it would mean that bathing waters which meet current standards, would suddenly be classified as ‘poor’ (the sufficient standard being proposed is twice as strict for coastal areas as the current minimum standard). This would be confusing for the public. It is much better to have a phased approach to improving standards.
Secondly on the extension of the scope of the directive to include recreational waters: Labour MEPs cannot support moves to extend the scope of the directive to recreational waters. Such an extension is uncosted and impracticable – recreational sports are carried out throughout the year rather than in a bathing season and the number of monitoring points would be huge."@en1
