"The main elements of the proposal for directive are:
establishing water quality standards (EQS) for priority substances and priority hazardous substances;
introduction of the “mixing zone” concept – in whose area EQSs may be exceeded;
setting an inventory of discharges, emissions and losses of priority and priority hazardous substances, which facilitates the monitoring of the way in which the objectives of the Water Framework Directive are achieved at the relevant point sources of pollution, as well as the assessment of the impact of implementing the principle of “the polluter pays”;
introduction of the provisions regarding cross-border pollution. They exclude the sole responsibility of the Member State for exceeding EQS in case it proves that the excess was due to cross-border pollution, but requires the taking of joint actions.
I voted for the environmental quality standards in the field of water policy because the introduction of the provisions regarding “cross-border pollution” is welcomed, especially in the case of Romania, taking into consideration that we border non-EU countries, which are not forced to comply with the standards imposed at the Community level."@en1
