"Mr President, I welcome the report and congratulate the rapporteur. This is a very important piece of legislation for us all. Pollution does not respect borders and the same goes for groundwater pollutants.
I tabled some amendments at first reading and have the same considerations at second reading too. I support all mandatory measures and instruments for Member State cooperation on shared groundwater bodies. In Hungary, 90% of all drinking water comes from groundwater, so without Community-level limit values, drinking water standards can hardly be attained.
Generally speaking, international cooperation helps to ensure compliance with drinking water limit values. In the age of global climate change, drinking water is one of the most important endangered natural resources. We have to do our best to ensure the good quality of our drinking water. This is really a Community-level issue. The nitrate trigger values proposed in the Nitrates Directive should be taken over as mandatory in the groundwater directive. We Hungarians, both here in Parliament and in the Council, support strict legislation on this matter."@en1
