EPP Wants Delay in Wastewater Rules

The European People's Party (EPP) is pushing for a one-year postponement of new wastewater rules, arguing that implementing micropollutant removal measures poses significant risks to the pharmaceutical and generic drug industries. Environment Commissioner defends the directive, stating the associated costs – estimated at €2.30 to €3.20 per citizen – are excessively high. This delay could significantly impact the implementation of the EU’s ambitious plan to reduce pollution in European waterways.
