🇪🇺 MEPs Debate Updated Rules on Urban Wastewater: Nils TORVALDS Statement 🇪🇺

This news item shows extracts from the MEPs debate on updated rules on the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater to better protect the environment and human health and extracts from the vote on Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive as well. MEPs want chemical pollutants (including “forever chemicals”), microplastics, pathogens and antimicrobial resistance to be monitored more. They also agree that a system of extended producer responsibility (EPR) should be set up for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, which require additional treatment for micro-pollutants. Nils TORVALDS, Rapporteur, gives a statement on the directive and the next steps with the Council.
