"Mr President, chemical pollution of groundwater has been happening for years, but with the development of the chemical industry the problem has got significantly worse. Subterranean waters migrate, and it will be difficult to achieve positive results in their preservation without changes in regions of other EU Member States, both near and more distant.
For that reason I would like to raise one of many important issues. The proposal for a directive proposes upper limits for pesticide content. However, in addition to the pesticides used for current production, there are tens of thousands of tons of old pesticides stored in individual countries, the majority of them poorly protected – if at all – from the effects of rainfall, wind and humans who continue to use these combinations of various pesticides to protect their plants.
It may appear that the quantity of pesticides used on the surface is falling, but we know that there are also large quantities in groundwater. If we want to protect groundwater, and therefore our health, we can, and indeed must, find the funding to deactivate and eliminate such stores of pesticides."@en1
