Commission threatens water protection rules to promote EU mining EurEau - Water matters, the views of Europe's water sector

The core principles of the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy risk being eroded before they are even launched.

Europe’s water sector is calling for regulatory stability.

Now is not the time to reopen core water legislation.

We urge the Commission to focus on implementing the WFD, UWWTD and IED to strengthen water resilience and protect public health. 💧

Today is World Toilet Day - a reminder that safe sanitation protects us from disease, supports security, and helps children stay in school. Yet too many people still lack access to these essential services.
Everyone deserves a safe, dignified toilet.
