lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, with the objectives it set, the Water Framework Directive from 2000 was, and remains, a necessary challenge to protect water as a vital lifeline. Anyone who wants to achieve a target needs to set checkpoints, monitor and change course or press the accelerator where necessary. We have achieved a great deal, but there remains a great deal to do. The Member States are under obligation to transpose the Water Framework Directive and related directives. As the rapporteur for the Groundwater Directive, I will once again bring longevity into the discussion. A harmful substance needs at least 20 years until it reaches the groundwater. However, it takes at least 30 years to bring about improvements again and, in many cases, damage can no longer be repaired. That is why the precautionary principle is fundamental when dealing with water, and we have enshrined it at the heart of this legislation. The soil is the biggest filter for healthy water. We laid down clear limit values in the Groundwater Directive. The Member States have a duty here. The soil does not emigrate. It remains constantly within one Member State, and that means that subsidiarity is the order of the day. We have integrated the protection of waters into many different policy areas and, in the new Biocidal Products Regulation and the legislation on pesticides, in particular, we have adopted a regulatory framework that will improve the condition of waters considerably thanks to strict limit values and stipulations governing the proper use of products. The revision of the priority substances in the field of water needs to be compatible and complementary to the other directives and regulations governing healthy water. There can be no contradictions. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Seeber for his balanced and, indeed, critical and constructive report."@en1
