On 12.1.01, the European Commission launched a broad consultation exercise on the revision of the 25 year old Bathing Water Directive. The adoption of a Communication to the European Parliament and the Council entitled 'Developing a New Bathing Water Policy' is the first step towards revision of the Directive. The Communication provides an outline of the expected contents and implications of a revised Directive. The revision of the Bathing Water Directive should maintain, even toughen the rigorous standards of the existing Directive. The new Directive will set out tough and ambitious targets to be met within specific timeframes.
