"Regulations concerning the rules that are to apply to the quality of bathing water at European seaside resorts are a matter not for the EU but for the individual Member States. Parliament’s proposal has taken no account of the principles either of subsidiarity or of proportionality.
Over and above the position we adopt on principle, to the effect that the management of bathing water quality is not an issue for the EU, we consider Parliament’s proposal to be more bureaucratic and long-winded than the Council’s. We have thus voted against the present recommendation.
The condition of bathing water varies a lot within the EU, and it is therefore undesirable to adopt a directive applicable both to the Mediterranean countries and the EU’s northern countries, for example, Sweden.
We therefore object to a number of the wordings, for example the one stating that emergency plans
need to be set up to cover events such as floods, accidents or infrastructure problems that could affect the quality of bathing water. We are not in favour of the detailed regulations Parliament wishes to introduce, for example stating that the scope of the directive should be extended to include further recreational activities."@en1
