Not upgrading water legislation compromises the EU’s zero-pollution ambition

The European Committee of the Regions is to adopt an opinion on the ‘Fitness Check of the Water Framework Directive and the Floods Directive’ by rapporteur Piotr Całbecki (PL/EPP), president of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region. In the context of the COVID-19 and unabated global warming, Piotr Całbecki calls for a paradigm shift that places circularity and sustainability at the centre of water management policies. The opinion was discussed during the plenary session alongside a high-level debate on the European Green Deal. Read here an interview with rapporteur Piotr Całbecki on the next steps to improve water quality and sustainability.
