- W2555508297 abstract "1 This Policy Brief was written at the request of the European Parliament’s Committeeon Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy. It addresses some aspects of theEuropean Commission’s proposal for a Directive on the protection of groundwater againstpollution (COM(2003) 550). It analyses in particular:• why the Commission is bringing forward this proposal at this particular time;• whether the impact assessment published with the proposal deals adequately with thelikely costs and benefits of implementing the proposal in each Member State;• alternative means of dealing with groundwater pollution where such exist; and• whether the Member States and Accession countries have adequate administrative andinspection systems to ensure even implementation by the due dates.2 The proposal aims at providing criteria for assessing ‘good groundwater chemicalstatus’, for the identification of ‘significant and sustained upward trends’ and the definition of‘starting points for trend reversals’, in accordance with Article 17 of the water frameworkDirective (WFD). In addition, the proposal seeks to ensure the continuation of groundwaterprotection against indirect discharges beyond 2013, when the existing groundwater Directive(80/68) will be repealed.3 The proposal was accompanied by an ‘Extended Impact Assessment’ (EIA); inaddition, a study entitled ‘Economic Assessment of groundwater protection’ was carried outin the drafting phase of the proposal. However, the economic basis of the EIA is rather weak.Most of the cost-benefit arguments used to choose the preferred policy option (no EU widegroundwater quality standards but instead threshold values determined by the Member States)are ill-founded. Moreover, it is inconsistent that the proposed Directive still contains theprospect of future EU wide standards, whereas the EIA argues that this option is inferior froma cost-benefit point of view.4 An alternative option, which provides a harmonised approach while still allowing fornatural variety, is to determine natural background concentrations for pollutants bygroundwater body (or group of groundwater bodies). Groundwater having this quality shouldbe protected against further deterioration. For other groundwater, EU standards can beestablished for margins by which the natural background concentrations may be exceededbefore it fails to meet the criteria for ‘good groundwater chemical status’. An analysis of thisoption should reveal the real magnitude of the problems and the costs involved in achievingsuch standards. The approach chosen in the Directive proposal brings about the chance thatMember States will make the height of their threshold values dependent on the availablebudgets for soil and groundwater sanitation or on their wish to avoid cumbersome derogationprocedures.5 Concerning indirect discharges, the proposal makes a distinction between substancesfor which these discharges have to be" @default.
