"I voted in favour of the EU water report by Mr Seeber, which examined the effectiveness of the Water Framework Directive. The rate of implementation by some Member States has been slow, and many EU water bodies will not achieve ‘good status’ by 2015. The report identifies many challenges and gaps in the existing legislation. Specifically, emphasis should be put on the regional dimension; reliable data is needed, in particular, on water quantity; water protection requires a holistic approach; major water efficiency gains can and should be made; and research and innovation should be further promoted. This report should feed into the Commission’s ‘Blueprint to safeguard Europe’s water resources’, which will be published in November 2012. Following publication of the blueprint, we will hopefully be able to assess what steps are necessary in order to bring water quality within the European Union up to an acceptable standard."@en1
