"Water quality is an important environmental issue, and it was therefore important and commendable that the EU should have adopted a framework directive on water, 2000/60/EC. The framework directive establishes the general framework for protecting all types of water (water in rivers and lakes, together with coastal and groundwater). It is not, however, important that the EU should have a directive regulating the quality of bathing water. That is an example of the EU’s being unnecessarily detailed in regulating matters that are not even cross-border in nature. We would instead emphasise the autonomy of local authorities and the Member States in this area."@en1
