lpv:translated text	"Making the EU rules on bathing water more stringent and then extending them to cover water sports is symptomatic of an inability to leave things alone. Instead, these should be the local authorities’ and the Member States’ own areas of responsibility in accordance with the proximity principle, because it is only in a few cases that waste water gives rise to problems across the national borders. How are these ill thought-out, centralist and expensive EU rules to operate in purely practical terms, and how are they to be funded, in a country like Sweden with its 95 000 lakes and hundreds of miles of coast? Together with the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, I have voted ‘no’ in the final vote and supported Amendment No 59 about rejecting the Commission’s proposal in its entirety. With a view to limiting the directive’s administrative and economic consequences for the Swedish local authorities, I have signed Amendment No 76, which was voted down: in order to be defined as such, the bathing areas concerned must have ‘more than 100 bathers a day for at least 20 days a year’ and ‘have been designated as bathing water by the competent authorities’."@en1
