EurEau and 16 other organisations have written a joint open letter to Commissioner Roswall, the Polish Council Presidency and MEPs demanding action on EU water pollution.

On the day a cancelled trilogue meeting was due to take place, the letter emphasises shared deep concerns about the slow progress in adopting the proposed new EU water pollution standards, as well as proposals to weaken and delay implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It calls on EU policymakers to stop delaying urgently needed updates of EU water pollution rules and standards.
