lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the proposal for the new bathing water directive that we are now discussing unfortunately has the same fundamental defect as the previous directive, namely a very vague definition of what is meant by bathing water. One consequence of this has so far been that the Commission has been able to come up with its own interpretation of the concept, ‘a large number of bathers’. It is thus unsatisfactory in terms of legal certainty for the new directive not to contain simple and clear information, either. It is also noteworthy that the directive does not take any account of the extremely varied conditions that apply in different Member States. In Sweden, we have, for example, 1932 miles of coast and 95 700 lakes with a surface area in excess of one hectare. Furthermore, we have the legal right of access to private land, which in principle means that everyone residing in our country has access to these bathing waters. Support for Amendment No 76 means yes to a simple, clear and, so too, legally certain definition. Nor should there be a negative effect upon Member States with basic conditions different from those in the countries of northern Europe. It should thus be possible to apply the directive throughout the EU."@en1
