lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank the Commission, the rapporteur and our shadow rapporteurs because I believe that we have reached an excellent compromise. It is very pragmatic. I feel it worth pointing out that, in the Water Framework Directive, we have produced a piece of legislation that will define our century, with the aim of bringing European waters to good ecological status by 2015. Of course, sector-targeted measures will also be required. It is also worth pointing out that we already have directives on drinking water and nitrates, as well as the EOS system, which will be the subject of a proposal for expansion from the Commission this year, and we are now taking a new direction with this directive containing limits for phosphates in dishwashers and detergents. The situation varies in the different Member States. In some Member States, agriculture is the main polluter, while in others, the problem lies with industrial and municipal waste water, depending on water hardness, which is mainly dependent on topographical and other geological factors, as well as the development of sewerage systems and sewage treatment plants in the Member State in question. Nonetheless, the Commission has chosen the right approach in getting to the root of this problem. There is wide divergence in proportions. In some Member States, detergents only account for a couple of per cent, but in others, they account for much more. We now have a compromise that is welcomed by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), particularly because we have also included dishwasher detergents. I believe that we are on the right path to meet our long-term goal of achieving high water quality. We expect that the Commission will continue with this approach, tackling in particular these various sources of pollution which are the main cause of most water problems, as in the agricultural and industrial sectors. We look forward to receiving proposals in this regard next year as well."@en1
