"Pollution from households, agriculture and industry is increasing. It reduces the quality of groundwater. When groundwater is polluted, the consequences are longer-lasting than when surface water is polluted. Groundwater is an important resource for drinking water and for industrial and agricultural processes. It should therefore be protected for current and future use.
We Social Democrats therefore welcome the Commission’s initiative concerning new regulations governing groundwater.
Groundwater is not, however, identical throughout the EU. It is therefore difficult to come up with a common standard suited to groundwater as it is variously to be found in the EU and, at the same time, entailing the most beneficial result for the environment. We believe that an approach taking greater account of the big differences in groundwater between one part of the EU and another would have had a more productive effect on the environment."@en1
