At first reading, the Commission’s proposal for a directive on the protection of groundwater followed up Article 17 of the Water Framework Directive (200/60/EC), which provided for the adoption by the Council and Parliament of measures promoting protection and better quality of groundwater.
The Council common position after first reading contained a number of technical shortcomings, and a lack of clarity and ambition. This will be remedied by the amendments tabled by the rapporteur, who has also endeavoured to ensure that this complies as far as possible with the framework directive.
Among the important amendments introduced are as follows: the reintroduction of the ‘emissions-related approach’ taken in Directive 80/68/EC on groundwater in order to meet the objective of Article 4 of the Framework Directive, ‘to protect groundwater against pollution and deterioration’, tighter restrictions applied to the substances on the list in Annex VIII to the Framework Directive, with a view to preventing long-term contamination, and the need for recovery measures.
Furthermore, Amendment 36, which removes the exemption of farming soils as regards the thresholds for compliance with the values established for nitrates, is of particular importance, as it ensures consistency with the objectives of protection and quality."@en1
