".
The directive on the protection of groundwater against pollution is now at the second reading stage. The purpose is to safeguard a natural resource that is vital to life because its reserves are the primary source of drinking water supply.
At this stage, the main challenges are twofold: firstly, to ensure that the extension of the scope of the directive complies with the subsidiarity principle; and secondly, the effects of certain measures on farming practices and the need to introduce some amendments should, as the rapporteur says, lead to Community aid under the CAP being granted.
The rapporteur also emphasises that an agreement must be reached on techniques for measuring groundwater pollution and that this should be done on the basis of comparable threshold values.
In its common position, the Council leaves it entirely to the Member States’ discretion to lay down groundwater quality standards. Hence the emphasis on proposals that would facilitate some comparison and studies into the impact and effectiveness of this legislation, whereby a fresh assessment can be made some time after its implementation."@en1
