Resume af relevans for dispensationssagen

DK deltog i mødet med teknisk-faglig

sagsbehandler og funktionsleder fra

Miljøstyrelsen (daværende Naturstyrelsen).

Under punkt 8 bliver dispensationer

”derogatio s” , jf. artikel 9, eha dlet.

Kommissionen gennemgår deres holdning

angående udløbsfristen for brugen af

dispensationer, samt hvornår dispensationer

kan gives efter udløbsfristen.

Medlemsstaterne (MS) var generelt enige i den

fortolkningslinje, som Kommissionen havde

foreslået, men flere medlemsstater

bemærkede, at specifikke særlige tilfælde

muligvis ikke var omfattet af den præsenterede

begrundelse, og at der selv om muligheden for

dispensationer i teorien udløber i maj 2013,

stadig kan være en behov for dispensationer i

specifikke tilfælde (f.eks. nyetablerede

vandforsyninger).

Kommissionen gjorde det klart, at hvis

problemet kan vises at være forårsaget af

særlige omstændigheder, som kan

retfærdiggøre behovet for nye dispensationer,

kan dette gives

–

og anerkendte udvekslingen

af ideer og inviterede MS til at reflektere videre

over problemet.

artikel 9 ift. drikkevand på skibe, hvor

Kommissionen holdning er, at artikel 9 ikke kan

anvendes til denne type sager.

DK deltog i mødet med teknisk-faglig

sagsbehandler fra Miljøstyrelsen (daværende

Naturstyrelsen).

Kommissionen opsummerede reglerne for

dispensation ved gennemgang af en

præsentation. Af referatet fremgår:

"Kommissionen opsummerede proceduren for

dispensationer. Præsentationen, der forklarer

proceduren, vil snart være tilgængelig på

CIRCABC. Alle første gangs dispensationer skulle

starte fra tidsplanen for efterlevelse (25.

december 2003). Der var en maksimal periode

på 9 år for undtagelser og dette indebærer, at

der for EU15 ikke længere kan indrømmes

nogen tredje gangs dispensationer. Der er nogle

undtagelser for medlemsstater, der kom ind i

EU på et senere tidspunkt. Under visse

omstændigheder er sene dispensationer tilladt,

men skal være behørigt begrundede.

Kommissionen er meget streng med hensyn til

dispensationer.

Der var en vis diskussion om potentielle

juridiske aspekter ved at udelade artikel 9 fra

national lovgivning, da vandleverandører

undertiden mener, at dispensationer stadig er

mulige. Kommissionen udtrykte sit ønske om, at

medlemsstaterne informerede leverandører og

myndigheder op til lokalt niveau om

Kommissionens holdning i overensstemmelse

hermed. Kommissionens hjemmesiden

opdateres om dette emne."

Præsentation om artikel 9 i DWD.

På slide 2 er det vist, at første dispensation skal

starte i 2003, og at der højest kan gives 9 års

dispensation i alt.

Det er på slide 5 angivet, at der i særlige

tilfælde ka gives ”se e” dispe satio er og tre

begrundelser angives: 1) Ny kildeplads (Water

Referat af møde i

ekspertgruppen under DWD

”KOM

gav en kort præsentation om

dispensationer iht. DWD. Alle

førstegangsdispensationer skulle

umiddelbart starte fra tidspunktet for

overholdelse af DWD (December 25, 2003). Der

er en periode på maksimum 9 år for

dispensationer, hvilket indebærer, at der på

nuværende tidspunkt ikke længere kan gives en

tredje dispensation. Dette gælder dog ikke

MS’er,

der er kommet ind i EU på et senere

tidspunkt. Under visse omstændigheder kan

senere dispensationer gives, men de skal

begrundes grundigt. Der var en diskussion om

de juridiske aspekter af at udelade artikel 9 i

DWD fra den nationale lovgivning (for at undgå

at vandforsyninger tror, at dispensation stadig

er muligt). Der kom dog ikke en klar konklusion

på, om en sådan udeladelse er mulig. KOMs

hjemmeside vil blive opdateret angående dette

emne.”

Miljøstyrelsen (daværende Naturstyrelsen) var

ikke repræsenteret på mødet.

Kommissionen gør opmærksom på, at der som

udgangspunkt ikke længere kan gives

dispensationer, og henviser til mødet 27. maj

2015. Kommissionen forklarer, at artikel 9

aldrig må anvendes til at forsinke

implementeringen af DWD. Der gøres

opmærksom på, at dispensation kan gives i

særlige tilfælde.

hensigten, men at der blev identificere fire

områder med plads til forbedringer, hvorfor det

forventes at Kommissionen igangsætter en

”impact

assessment” fokuseret på disse

områder mhp. en mulig revision af direktivet.

Styrelsens forelæggelse beskriver de fire

områder, hvor der ifølge REFIT-evalueringen

vurderes at være plads til forbedringer.

Derudover har sagen fokus på forslag til evt.

tidlig dansk interessevaretagelse.

Forelæggelsen behandler ikke spørgsmål om

dispensationsmuligheder eller den danske

implementering af direktivet.

Sagen indeholder bl.a. den opdaterede

drikkevandsbekendtgørelse og de væsentligste

ændringer er fremhævet i sagens cover.

Det fremgår ligeledes af sagens cover, at

Miljøstyrelsen har identificeret et behov for at

tydeliggøre hjemlen til kommunernes

meddelelse af dispensation for overskridelse af

drikkevandskvalitetskrav.

Af høringen fremgår særligt om VFL § 59:

”Stk. 4. Mi istere ka fastætte ær ere regler

om, at kommunalbestyrelsen i særlige tilfælde

kan dispensere fra de af ministeren fastsatte

regler

o drikke a dsk alitet.”

”

Som led i gennemførelsen af

drikkevandsdirektivet fra 1998 er der i

bekendtgørelse om vandkvalitet og tilsyn med

vandforsyningsanlæg indført regler om, at

kommunen kan dispensere fra de i

bekendtgørelsens bilag 1 a - d af ministeren

fastsatte kvalitetskrav for et bestemt tidsrum,

der skal fastsættes så kort som muligt, og som

højst kan være 3 år. Dispensation kan kun gives,

hvis der ikke er mulighed for at fremskaffe

anden vandforsyning, og der skal indhentes en

udtalelse fra Sundhedsstyrelsen, inden der

dispenseres.

En tydelig hjemmel foreslås indført i

lovforslaget, så kommunerne i

overensstemmelse med hidtidig praksis kan

dispensere fra drikkevandskvalitetskravene i en

begrænset periode, hvor der ikke foreligger

nogen sundhedsmæssig risiko.”

Sagen vedr. en fremsættelsespakke for forslag

til lov om ændring af lov om vandforsyning m.v.

Det fremgår af sagens cover, at der efter

høringen er foretaget justeringer i lovforslaget

på baggrund af interne juridiske vurderinger.

Det fremgår således bl.a., at

dispensationsadgang for kommunerne til i

særlige situationer at kunne dispensere fra

gældende drikkevandskvalitetskrav ikke er

medtaget i det endelige lovudkast, da der

allerede er tilstrækkelig hjemmel.

Miljøstyrelsen notificerer EU-Kommissionen om

implementering af de opdaterede bilag II og III

til direktivet. Ændringen af

drikkevandsbekendtgørelsen fremsendes i sin

helhed omfattende bestemmelserne om

dispensationer.

Følgende fremgår af notatet:

”For så idt a går forslaget o at tydeliggøre

hjemlen til, at en kommune kan dispensere fra

drikkevandskvalitetskrav, har Miljøstyrelsen

gennemført en fornyet juridisk analyse, som har

ført til den vurdering, at der allerede er

tilstrækkelig hjemmel i gældende regler. En

lovændring på dette punkt vurderes ikke at

være nødvendig, hvorfor forslaget ikke er

edtaget i det e delige lo forslag”

Kommissionen erindrer DK om, at bevisbyrden

er vores, og efterspørger yderligere bevis for,

om dispensationerne kan begrundes med 1) en

ny kravværdi, 2) en nyligt anlagt kildeplads eller

3) en ny kilde til forurening.

Departementet orienteres om situationen og

det foreslås, at to spørgsmål undersøges:

”1) Er drikke a dsdirekti ets

dispensationsbestemmelser implementeret

korrekt i drikkevandsbekendtgørelsen?

2) Er der i drikkevandsdirektivet angivet

bestemte dispensationsvilkår, herunder at der

Introduction

The Chairperson referred to the amended Rules of Procedure for the Committee adopted in the

Committee meeting of 30 April 2012 and recalled the new rules and procedures for the establishment

of Implementing and Delegated Acts under the Lisbon Treaty.

For the DWD this will have as a consequence that amendments to Annexes II and III of the Directive

may be established by means of Delegated Acts and no longer be subject to an opinion provided by the

Committee under the current Regulatory Procedure with Scrutiny. If this is the case, the discussion

with MS will continue in an Expert Group, following a similar procedure as the strategic coordination

group established under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and operating according to

its own rules of procedure. This informal working process would also allow stakeholders to participate

in these meetings. An example of rules of procedure of the MSFD strategic coordination group was

distributed to the Committee members for information.

Discussion

WHO noted that, according to their experience from the EU's Groundwater Experts Committee for

Groundwater Directive, the actual procedures did not change considerably but there was seen a clear

advantages in working in the frame of an expert group as it ensures a more effective exchange of

information.

The Chairperson proposed to ensure continuity of the Committee in the frame of the new Expert

Group and even cover linked issues under other Directives (Bathing Water), as the new procedure

allows for this.

Conclusions

The Committee took note of the explanations on the new procedures applicable under the Lisbon

Treaty and the distributed rules of procedures for the marine strategy coordination expert group. The

Committee proposed to prepare the establishment of an Expert Group and suggested to jointly

organize the first expert group meeting with the next meeting of the Committee. The COM agreed to

send more information about the procedure on Delegated Acts as soon as it becomes available.

5. Revision of the Annexes II & III, and alternative methods

Introduction

The Commission presented the working papers related to the revision of Annexes II and III of the

DWD resulting from the work carried out by the Working Group chaired by JRC. The comments

received from MS after the meeting of the Working Group, had also been included. Before starting the

technical presentations and discussion, the Chairperson did a 'tour the table' to inquire about the

support in the Committee to continue the revision process and the priorities that the MS would like to

see addressed. JRC presented as well the ongoing work on alternative methods.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

Discussion

During the tour the table MS motivated the extent to which they supported the revision process and

current draft texts on the table. While most of the Member States expressed their support for the

revision process and appreciated the work done so far by the technical working group coordinated by

JRC, several concerns were raised to specific aspects in the current draft texts during the tour de table

and discussion afterwards. The main concerns are summarized below, a detailed reflection of MS

concerns raised during the 'tour de table' is added in the annex (annex 3).

The tour de table was followed by a presentation from JRC on the technical work undertaken so far for

the revision of Annexes II and III summarizing the conclusions of the working group on alternative

methods (the proposed way of work to be adopted by the working group on microbiology in relation to

alternative methods and the presentation of the alternative methods on a dedicated website).

Annex II discussion:

The Chairperson introduced the discussion mentioning that a rational of the revision would be drafted

to ensure a common reference against which the final version of the Annex would be checked.

There was general support to the introduction of the concept of risk based assessment in annex II,

however, there are still different views on they way the concept should be formulated in the actual

texts.

The risk assessment concept is generally seen as the most effective way to ensure the safety of the

water supplies with reasonable costs, however, the meeting recognised that minimum requirements

must be specified to ensure that the specific objectives of the Directive are met (parametric values,

monitoring frequencies, compliance reporting, information to the public).

The following main issues were raised during the discussion:

-The increased monitoring frequency, in particular for small water supplies, would entail additional

costs for the operators without necessarily guaranteeing the minimum water quality safety of the

respective supply. While it was pointed out that the draft text would allow for reduction of proposed

frequencies in function of the risk assessment, several MS still suggested to keep the frequencies as

they are in the current applicable text.

- MS recognised the need for defining performance indicators (benchmarks) in order to ensure

effective implementation of a risk based assessment allowing appropriate management of supplies.

This would allow consideration of the particular characteristics of small water supplies and, for

instance, include indicators based on which for instance monitoring frequencies could be adapted to

concrete risks.

-The interpretation of and interrelation between the two proposed monitoring systems – operational

and compliance – caused confusion to several Member States. It was called for better description of

the aim and links between the monitoring system, and it was recognised that the system would need to

allow comparison of compliance with the Directive between MS.

- The link with food legislation in relation to bottled water should be clarified by including appropriate

references to this legislation. It was recognised that the references should avoid duplication of

legislation but also ensure there are no gaps of legislation that would cause risks to water quality

safety in relation to bottled water.

In order to illustrate different interpretation of table B1 in annex 2 across the EU, DE presented an

overview of MS's practical implementation of the current provisions of Annex II, Table B1 (see Annex

4 to this document) on frequencies of check and audit monitoring. This information was obtained

following an inquiry with the MS representatives. The overview showed clear differences between

MS, showing the need for better clarification on practical implementation of requirements on

monitoring frequencies as specified in the table.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

Annex III discussion:

The Chairperson appreciated that procedure wise, for Annex III no additional meeting of the technical

working group would be needed and that the adopting procedure could be initiated before that for

Annex II.

The main issues raised on the draft text related to the possibility to use other methods than those listed

in Annex III for operational monitoring and the cost implications of accreditation of laboratories.

Possible solution discussed in relation to the accreditation of laboratories was the use of ISO 17025

standard for water supply zones servicing more than 5,000 people and ISO 9000 standard for those

water supply zones servicing below 5,000 people.

The idea of a possible cost-benefit assessment in relation to the aspects to be revised in this Annex was

proposed as part of the revision process. MSs were invited to support the issues raised by providing

information to the Commission on costs and administrative burdens.

Alternative Methods discussion:

The chairperson recalled the work of the WG of Microbiology related to the revised document on

alternative methods.

The WHO also reported on a project (developed in cooperation with the NL authorities) that will begin

shortly and that aims to develop alternative methods primarily for microbiological analysis. Expert

expressed the availability of WHO to expand cooperation in this particular area too.

During the discussions it was remarked that in case accreditation would be made mandatory, the link

with the alternative methods has to be clarified, in the sense of clarifying whether the alternative

methods are an additional requirement for accreditation or the two are independent. Also, the idea of

including the alternative methods used in each country on a website, rather than updating the Annex

III was supported by some of the MS.

A possible meeting of the WG on Microbiology in the second half of the year was proposed

(September) with the objective to discuss the mandate and the details of the alternative methods

procedure, before submitting a draft mandate of the Group to the Committee in the next meeting.

Conclusions

Most of the Member States expressed their support for the revision of the annexes, on the condition

that outstanding concerns were appropriately addressed. On annex II the Committee concluded that

further reflection was needed on technical aspects such as formulation of the concept of risk based

monitoring , the way the 'compliance monitoring' is elaborated and integrated in the overall monitoring

requirements, the minimum required sampling frequencies, the specific characteristics of small

supplies and appropriate references to food legislation. On annex III the Committee concluded that

further technical verification was required. Concerns were raised on increased references to CEN/ISO

certified methods, involving increased potential costs for laboratories. The COM agreed to further

reflect on and redraft the texts. If need be, an informal meeting with MS may take place before

summer to further fine-tune the drafts.

The Committee agreed that, depending on progress made for both annexes, formal adoption

procedures of the texts may either run in parallel or in succession.

On alternative methods, the COM agreed to draft a mandate for the Working Group on Microbiology,

covering the required further work on alternative methods, including aspects linked to the work of

other Committees (e.g. Bathing Water Directive) for endorsement by the Committee in the next

meeting.

6. Regular Reporting – state of play & 7. Small Water Supplies, a. Findings of the Small

Water Supplies Report – state of play

Introduction

The COM presented the state-of-play of the current regular and small water supplies reporting

exercises. It was mentioned that the former will be most likely completed in autumn 2013, while the

latter will be available in spring 2013.

The COM noted that it intends to prepare a summary report based on information from both regular

and small water supplies reports.

Discussion

Based on preliminary results, the COM highlighted that the main problems on implementation relate

to lack and inconsistency of data – for regular reporting, and non-compliance with the microbiological

and indicator parameters, as well as with the monitoring arrangements – for the small water supplies

report.

It was highlighted that due to the specific situation in MSs, differentiated approaches in managing the

compliance gaps would be required.

The Chairperson commented on the inefficiency of the current reporting system, mainly due to the

'backward looking' approach (focus on obsolete and currently irrelevant data) and the significant time

gap between reported data period and its publication. The COM recalled that it is essential to inform

the public realistically and highlighted that timely and correctly informing the public is a key aspect in

implementing the Directive.

The Chairperson underlined COM's current initiative to changing the current reporting system, in

particular bearing in mind the approaches adopted under other Directives and the 7

EAP. The new

approach would be to use information management systems, rather than just reporting systems.

Without entering into details, the former would mean that MSs would generate and make public

information, while the Commission would be able 'pull' data for its own compliance assessment needs.

Conclusions

The Committee took note of the information.

7. Small Water Supplies

7. b. Policy paper on Small Water Supplies

Introduction

The COM recalled the mandate given to the drafting group on small water supplies to prepare a policy

document identifying recommendations on how to implement the current Directive in small water

supplies. The UK representative, who participated in the drafting group, summarized the findings and

conclusions of the document after which the document was discussed.

Some MS raised the issue of clarifying the position of the document in relation to other related

documents currently available was raised (e.g. the work of the UN Protocol on Water and Health).

Requests for further clarification/correction of the document were mentioned, like the one concerning

the case study for ES.

Conclusions

The Committee endorsed the document by consensus, after having suggested a few changes. The

Committee agreed with the COM proposal to include a preamble clarifying the context and objectives

as well as mentioning endorsement by the Committee. The COM agreed to reflect on the way of

publication and possible translation of the document.

8. Derogations

Introduction

The COM recalled the main requirements of Article 9 of the Directive concerning derogations,

including expiry deadlines and possible situations for which derogations could still be allowed after

these deadlines, after which a discussion took place (see presentation for details).

Discussion

The Chairperson clarified that, by this rational, the COM wanted to ensure the setting of a common

understanding of the decision-making process behind granting derogations and a level playing field for

all MS (in the case of 3

derogations).

MS generally agreed with the interpretation line proposed by the Commission, however, several MS

noted that specific particular cases might not be covered by the presented rationale and that, while in

theory the right for derogation will expire in May 2013, there might still be a need for derogations for

specific cases (for instance new established water supplies).

It was also remarked that new analysis methods have become available and more substances than

those listed in the Directive can be analysed and if found relevant for human health, they would trigger

also the possibility of using derogations.

The Chair clarified that the presented rationale behind granting derogations was not considering new

supplies and looked only to Annex I parameters. New substances relevant for health could be

considered differently when deciding on granting derogations. Moreover, the case of the chemical

parameter 'pesticides' was a special situation, because of the authorisation procedure in place.

Conclusions

The COM clarified that if the problem can be demonstrated and is justifiable as exceptional

circumstances, then an additional exemption could be granted and appreciated the exchange of ideas

and invited MS to further reflect on the issue with the view to continuing the discussion at the next

meeting.

9. Cooperation with the WHO

Introduction

The areas of potential cooperation between the Regional Office for WHO Europe and the COM on

drinking water issues were presented and discussed.

Discussion

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

WHO listed briefly the areas of interest for this Drinking Water Committee, namely water safety

plans, alternative methods for microbiology and chemical parameters, water re-sue. WHO's

representative also recalled the next meeting of WHO specific WG to discuss the review of the

drinking water guidelines, aspects related to the re-use of urban waste water.

Conclusions

The Committee took note and welcomed the intention for closer cooperation with the WHO.

10. Implementation of the DWD on ships and trains

Introduction

The agenda point was suggested by a member of the Committee within the context of a specific case

on the application of the Directive on ships and planes.

Discussion

The matter refers to water treatment plants on board ships which are used to provide drinking

water for commercial or public purposes. A number of issues were raised: (1) the treatment

method used to treat seawater– reverse osmosis – which may lead to parameters for some

chemicals (e.g. boron) being exceeded, (2) the impossibility to define geographical areas when it

comes to ships as they are moving and seawater quality is variable, (3) the difficulty of using

Article 8 regarding plants using reverse osmosis on ships, as there is no viable alternative that

could permanently rule out a chemical parametric value being exceeded due to the seawater used.

COM specified that the solution to use Article 9 for this situation did not seem viable and

therefore would have to look further into the issue and try to formalize their legal advice as soon

as possible.

In the discussion it was noted that in the case of ships travelling in international waters,

international regulations on health and labour applied over the DWD.

A few MS noted that in their understanding the DWD applied only at the fixed point (on land)

where water was being supplied into a ship, aircraft or train, but did not apply once these moved.

It was also remarked that while international relevant legislation applies in international waters,

the issue remained still open in the case of ships travelling inland and in coastal areas.

Conclusions

The Committee took note of the information and concluded that the issue needs further legal

clarification.

11. Information by Commission

Introduction

COM presented short updates in relation to the agenda points 11 a, b, c, d, e, f and g. As regards point

11 d) DWD - link with the WFD (WG C on Ground water), the COM clarified the main links between

approaches for implementing the DWD, the Water Framework Directive and Groundwater Directive

(GWD) (risk based approach, also being promoted in the Blueprint for water

; Article 7 of the WFD

that makes the link between groundwater protected zones and drinking water quality) and informed the

Committee about the suggestion of the CIS working group on groundwater (WG C) to cooperate with

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/blueprint/index_en.htm

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

the Drinking Water community on implementation of a risk based management approach for

groundwater bodies used for drinking water extraction.

Discussion point 11 d)

The Chairperson commented that if there is interest, a meeting could be organized later in the year.

Most of the MS recognised that benefits and synergies of cooperation between the DWD committee

and WG C.

A comment was made that such cooperation could also contribute to exchange of information on

existing methodologies to assess the influence of surface water quality to groundwater quality.

COM clarified that the documents referred to previously

(Guidance document on Risk Assessment

and the Use of Conceptual Models for Groundwater (No 26) and Guidance Document on Groundwater

in Drinking Water Protected Areas (No 16)

)) did not have much information on dynamics between

surface water and groundwate.. However, a report containing some information linked to these aspects

was available on DG ENV's website (under technical reports

A few MS informed on national experience on synergies between Groundwater and Drinking Water

through a risk based approach and offered to share information. FI highlighted the importance of these

synergies and the fact that groundwater monitoring data could be used for risk assessment in the

drinking water systems.

Conclusions

The Committee took note of this information. Moreover, the Committee welcomed the suggested

cooperation with WG C and agreed discussing in the next WG C meeting in April 2013 the different

possibilities for cooperation, to be reported back to the Committee in the next Committee meeting.

12. Work Plan

Introduction

The Commission presented the revised rolling Work Plan.

Conclusion

The Committee took note of the revised rolling Work Plan.

13. Any other business

A committee member inquired on current plans regarding ecolabels (ecodesign for taps). The COM

took note and suggested to update the Committee on this issue in the next meeting, which is tentatively

planned for 19 November 2013.

Annex 3

Annex II and III detailed 'Tour de table' discussion

Most MSs expressed their support for the revision exercise on the condition that certain concerns in

relation to current drafts are addressed as outlined in more detail below.

IE supported the revision of the two annexes. However, they mentioned that the current proposal for

Annex II was not acceptable, because of the increased minimum monitoring frequency, in particular as

regards the small water supplies (as shown in the current proposal, controls should increase by 30%

and with the costs this would involve this would not be viable for small water supplies in IE). The

representative underlined that the monitoring frequency should be decided based on the risk

assessment. In relation to annex III, the need for flexibility was emphasized, in the sense of

maintaining the current system (trueness, precision and limit of detection), but also allowing for the

use of the concept of uncertainty of measurement. The economic impact of the proposed changes in

both annexes (i.e. costs resulting from the increased numbers of monitoring frequencies) should be

considered and it should be ensured that the financial efforts are directed towards what would increase

the safety of the water supply, namely the risk-based approach and not the monitoring as such.

DE and SI supported the review of the 2 annexes but disagreed with the current proposals. They

underlined that a new and clearer EU regulation was necessary to achieve a more effective monitoring

(ensuring increased safety of the supplies) of drinking water quality and in reaching analysis results

that can be comparable between MS.

BE was in favor of the text proposed in the draft technical annexes, although felt that there were

details which still needed to be fine-tuned. As regards the increased monitoring frequencies for the

smaller water supplies, they were in favor of this change (in BE such measures are already required in

the national legislation) and as regards the concerns of other MSs in relation to this, they highlighted

that their understanding of the proposed text in the Annex was that derogations from the monitoring

frequencies were clearly allowed for.

IT supported the concerns raised by IE as regards Annex II, while as regards Annex III, underlined the

idea that the latest scientific progress regarding the methods of analysis should be taken aboard.

SE noted that increasing monitoring frequencies would not necessarily reduce risks for human health,

while costs would increase significantly. SE suggested keeping the current monitoring frequencies

levels until the whole Directive was revised.

FI supported the concerns raised by IE and SE and mentioned the need to clarify the links with the

food legislation, in relation to Annex II. Also FI pointed out a significant aspect in their country,

namely the long distances to monitoring sites which in case monitoring frequencies increased would

lead to higher costs. Regarding Annex III, FI considered as incompatible the concept of "precision"

and "uncertainty".

NL highlighted the importance of risk assessment, which should be reflected in the revision of annex

II, in particular for the small water supplies and noted that increasing the sampling frequencies in

natural places or camping sites might be difficult to achieve because of costs. As regards Annex III,

they agreed in principle with the proposed changes but NL would need more time before presenting its

consolidated view on the proposed changes

LU is in favor of the revision, but underlined the importance of adopting the risk based approach in

Annex II, and highlighted the need not to modify the current frequencies, because this change was not

a direct improvement to water quality or safety of the water supplies. As for Annex III, LU proposed

to remove the “precision” characteristic of analysis methods since it is incompatible with the

“uncertainty” one.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

UK expressed their reserves regarding the latest draft text for Annex II and recalled the original

intention of a revision of the Directive which was to introduce the risk based approach to better protect

the health of citizens and solve the safety problems of the smaller water supplies, in particular. In their

view, the currently proposed Annex II does not provide the efficiency of doing that.The impact

assessment of the of the current proposal (including increased frequencies for the small water supplies)

would be negative because of the burden on small and private water supplies and therefore would not

be politically feasible in the UK. In substance, the RA system as implemented provides for improved

health and allows for an efficient monitoring. In relation to Annex III the representative expressed

reserves on the removal of both parameters "trueness" and "precision", on one hand, because they

think that their removal decreases the protection of citizen, as the analysis becomes less accurate, and

on the other hand because UK laboratories have already made significant investments to comply with

the analysis of these parameters. Economic and political aspects were raised in the sense that in the

UK significant investments were undertaken by the laboratories to reach this level of performance of

the analysis methods and any deviation from that would be difficult to justify.

PT shared the concerns of the previous MS and stressed that increasing frequency does not necessarily

improve water quality (in relation to Annex II). PT agreed with UK on aspects related to Annex III,

namely expressed their reserves in relation to removal of the existing performance characteristics

'trueness' and 'precision', since its laboratories have invested heavily to include it in the analysis.

DK raised the issue of the interpretation of current Annex II,

Monitoring, 2. Audit monitoring,

regards Member States' possibility to omit some parameters from audit monitoring and thus reduce the

monitoring efforts.

CZ generally welcomed the suggested revised annexes and considered the increased monitoring

frequency for small water supplies acceptable, as it was accompanied by the possibility to reduce the

monitoring efforts. Two political aspects were raised: (1) the consequences of the need to define the

risk management plans, in the sense that applying the WHO model on this would indeed entail

significant financial burden to the MSs; and, (2) the sampling for microbiological parameters – the

Directive provides that the samples are to be taken at the tap, while it provides also for the possibility

to consider the influence of the domestic installations. In the revised Annex II, the sampling design

excludes the influence of the individual taps, which makes it a sensitive issue in terms of

communicating compliance under the Directive to the consumers, as compliance is measured at the

tap.

SI was in favor of the introduction in the risk-based approach in Annex II and was of the opinion that

currently the Directive allows for omitting certain parameters from audit monitoring.

ES agrees with revising the two annexes, but underlined the need to make an economic assessment of

the proposed changes. ES was particularly concerned about possible costs related to the increase in

frequency of controls and mandatory accreditation of laboratories.

HU emphasized the fact that in HU the legislation required higher monitoring frequency than currently

provided for in the Directive for the small supplies already, but it mostly applies for check audit. For

audit parameters they think one sample per year for the small supplies was financially feasible in HU.

Otherwise, monitoring for some parameters could be reduced in a water supply, especially if links

with the WFD were identified and taken into account via the risk assessment. As regards, Annex III

details would still need to be discussed with their laboratories before having a consolidated view.

BG welcome the introduction of the risk assessment approach in relation to Annex II, however

highlighted the need of having still minimum criteria for establishing the monitoring programmes. In

relation to Annex III, it was underlined that a significant financial problem might be for BG the

obligation to accredit laboratories with ISO 17025, as BG laboratories were already accredited with

the ISO 17020.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

MT agreed with the proposed changes, however expressed concerns about the rising costs due to

increasing monitoring frequencies. In MT they do not have accredited laboratories to perform the

necessary analyses for all parameters. Monitoring samples are sent overseas, which means that an

already expensive process will become even more so.

FR supports the introduction of the risk based approach, however they highlighted the need to consider

the consequences in terms of increased costs for the small water supplies that the revised annex II

would bring, without necessarily ensuring safer water. They asked for a clear distinction between

compliance and operational monitoring, in the sense of establishing responsibilities for performing

them and specifying the results of which type of monitoring were to be reported to the Commission.

They mentioned in relation to Annex III that the limits proposed under the Limit of Quantification are

not feasible in their opinion for the laboratories. As for the use of alternative methods, they think their

use would make difficult the performance comparison among MSs.

LT is in favor of the revision of the annexes but share in particular the views expressed by IE, SE and

FI. They are in particular concerned about the financial burden that the increased monitoring

frequencies would pose on to the small suppliers. Furthermore, they believed that the frequencies for

table B (chemical) parameters could be reviewed to prevent from the obligation to perform

unnecessary analysis.

EE supports the revisions of the annexes, in particular the introduction of the risk assessment in Annex

II. However they underlined that the proposed changes in Annex II would have an important economic

impact on Small Water Supplies (90% of their supply units are of this type) in their country, in the

sense of increasing the costs.

PL would send detailed comments on the revised annexes at a later stage, as they were still discussing

them internally. However, the most important issue resulting from the revised annexes in their view

was the additional cost that would be entailed. As regards Annex III, currently in PL there is no

obligation to accredit the laboratories which means that in order to impose this obligation to their

laboratories, they would expect a specific provision in the Directive.

RO still needs to strengthen their capacity to implement the Directive as it is, therefore any changes in

the Annexes that would entail additional financial costs for the water supplies are perceived as

additional burden. More technical comments would be sent in writing.

CY supported the proposed changes, as they would bring an improvement in the effectiveness and

flexibility of the Directive, but the representative underlined the need to consider the financial aspects.

Regarding the Annex III, the methods of analysis used by their laboratories are 'trueness' and

'precision', as well as for 'uncertainty', therefore they would be in favor of maintaining the current

performance characteristics and include also 'uncertainty'.

NO expressed support to the concerns raised by IE, SE and FI, and highlighted the importance of

introducing the risk-based approach.

The WHO representative recalled that the most important concern from their perspective is human

health. However, they recognize that the objective of the Directive is allowing comparison between

Member States and showing an even level playing field in terms of drinking water quality. In general,

the risk-assessment approach will have significant benefits on the short and long-term, and in

particular will contribute to the overall reduction of implementation costs on the long-term, as well as

providing a significant flexibility. Furthermore, he noted that MSs have different capacities to

implement the risk assessment approach. He referred to the application of the risk assessment

approach in the case of small water supplies, and the likely costs increases due to increased monitoring

frequencies, but also reminded the differences in sizes, sectors, and specific circumstances of these

small water supplies across the MS, and the required need to adapt monitoring and safety requirements

to the actual uses.

The content matter of this ECI was highlighted, as well as the Commission response to the initiative

including the committed follow-up actions with particular focus on the actions for which DG ENV takes

the lead: Reinforcement of water quality legislation, EU wide public consultation of the Drinking Water

Directive and improving transparency for urban waste water and drinking water data management,

including exploring the idea of benchmarking water quality and services. It was also highlighted that the

COM invites the MS to take the concerns raised by the citizens into account through this initiative and

encourage them to step up their efforts to guarantee the provision of safe, clean and affordable drinking

water and sanitation for all.

Conclusion

The Expert Group took note of the provided information.

Introduction

The Chairperson introduced the item, explaining that as a part of its response to 'Right2water' ECI, the

European Commission has launched a Public Consultation on EU drinking water policy, to see where

improvements could be made, notably in view of improving access to quality drinking water. The results

of the consultation will be used as input to decide if and where the EU Drinking Water Directive

98/83/EC might need improvement.

It was underlined that this questionnaire also takes up other issues raised by 'Right2water' ECI, for

example affordability, which goes beyond the scope of the current Drinking Water Directive and may

need to be addressed by other EU or national instruments or initiatives.

The COM gave an overall description of the questionnaire, highlighting that the main intention of the

COM was to continue with the dialogue with the citizens, and that the consultation runs from 23.06.2014

until 23.09.2014 via DG ENV website

Discussion

In general, EG members welcomed the Public Consultation initiative, but several members expressed

their concerns with the questionnaire approach. Some members stated that a number of questions were

too complicated for the general public; others that some questions were biased, hinting obvious replies.

Concerns on particular formulation of questions were raised as well. It was also suggested that the

consultation would cover the whole drinking water chain, including protection of drinking water

abstraction sources in the context of article 7 of the Water Framework Directive.

The Chairperson clarified that the questionnaire has to be seen as a whole, being addressed mainly to the

citizens, not to experts.. The COM has made an important effort to ensure that the questionnaire

addresses all aspects of drinking water policy that may be of concern to the citizens, and in this sense, the

questionnaire has been revised by the COM legal and technical services. On links with other Directives, it

was clarified that the scope of the consultation and possible review process is limited to the Drinking

Water Directive, but that concerns with this regard can be submitted separately to the functional mailbox.

Conclusion

The Chairperson invited the Expert Group members to actively spread this Public Consultation initiative.

In addition to completing the questionnaire, all stakeholders (as national authorities, international

organizations, NGO's, etc.) can submit their position papers or technical view on the issues addressed in

the questionnaire to the COM services.

EU examining the Member States' reports for the period 2008-2010.

The COM presented the main aspects and conclusions of the Synthesis Report. It was highlighted that the

document has been published online in all official EU languages

for the first time, and that technical

reports, which contain detailed factsheets per MS, are available for Expert Group members on CIRCA

and will also be published soon online.

After this brief presentation, the Chairperson opened the floor for comments.

Some MS expressed concerns that the graphs are not clear and the some data in tables are not accurate

and not sufficiently explained. Some Mistakes with translations were reported too.

The possibility of amending the online published version of the Synthesis Report was raised, and some

MS requested that, in the future, they be consulted before online publishing of these kinds of reports due

to the political implications. As regards the MS detailed reports, some MS asked for a deadline to send

comments before public publication online.

Conclusion

Regarding amendment possible corrigendum of the published online Synthesis report, the Chairperson

stated that this possibility has to be reflected on based on the kind of noted mistakes, but that in any case,

MS who want to send comments to the COM can do so in the next two weeks. As regards comments on

the MS factsheets, a deadline of mid-August 2014 was set in order to allow for comments to be sent to

the COM before definitive publishing online in September/October 2014.

AND

III

Introduction

The Chairperson introduced the item explaining that since the last Committee meeting of 19 November

2013, the COM services have further worked on updating the draft texts for amending Annexes II and III

of the DWD, following comments provided by MS and internal reflections.

In the light of

first successful ECI, the Commission clarified that the further revision process, including timelines, will

be aligned with the announced action to carry out an EU wide consultation on the Drinking Water

Directive.

The aim of the COM is to continue the informal dialogue with MS on the draft texts in the Expert Group

in order to finalise the technical work allowing to proceed quickly in case the outcome of the consultation

in autumn would conclude to continue the revision process under comitology. In case the COM

concludes that the revision of the annexes should be integrated in a wider revision of the Directive, the

ongoing work will feed into this process.

The COM said, it is also exploring with its legal services the possibility of amending the annexes by

means of a Regulation instead of a Directive, should the comitology route be chosen. This would imply

that the provisions would be directly applicable to MS. In this case, the transition provisions to allow for

technical adaptations to new monitoring and analysis approaches are kept.

Discussion

After this introduction, the Chairperson opened the floor for comments on the revised texts of the

Annexes.

As regards Annex III, EG members only proposed minor changes, the most important being the addition

of a footnote in Annex III explaining that limit values included in Annex I already take into account the

uncertainty of measurement. The Chairperson said that this request has to be discussed internally, but in

principle, this footnote could be feasible.

As regards Annex II, the COM distributed a new version of the document for discussion at the Expert

Group. Comments and suggestions on this paper from EG members were collected in order to improve

the document.

The comments and discussion related to the use and meaning of technical terms, the scope of certain

paragraphs in relation to parameter groups, organisation of (operational) monitoring, how to convert

(WHO) guidance in a binding EU instrument, and some formulations.

Conclusion

The Chairperson welcomed all comments and suggestions, and asked EG members to confirm oral

comments in writing and to send any further comments on the texts discussed at the Expert Group by

mid-August 2014. Received comments will be considered by the COM and updated versions of Annex II

and III will be circulated after summer. As soon as the Commission is clear on the procedural way

forward, it will inform MS, most likely in autumn this year.

In case the file goes ahead under comitology, the legal form remains to be further clarified after legal

advice from COM services (revision by means of a Regulation format or a Directive format).

LTERNATIVE METHODS

Introduction

The COM made a presentation highlighting the main topics and results discussed at the second meeting

of the European Microbiology Expert Group (EMEG) that was held on 3 and 4 April 2014 at the JRC.

New EMEG website structure and contents were described, as well as the adopted methodology to assess

the alternative methods submitted to the COM. The next meeting of EMEG was announced for 6 Nov

2014.

After this presentation, the Chairperson introduced the amended version of the document "

Mandate for

the new microbiology sub-expert group established under the Drinking Water Directive", which was

circulated

before the Expert Group meeting. It was clarified that this amended version of the Mandate

took into account comments from MS at the last Committee meeting.

Conclusion

The Chairperson welcomed the provided information and informed the participants that comments on the

final version of the mandate could be sent in writing in August 2014.

DWD R

EVIEW PROCESS

Introduction

The Chairperson informed that in order to review the DWD, technical expertise and technical

underpinning are needed. As regards the revision of the parameters list and corresponding standards, the

COM will cooperate with the WHO in line with recital 16 of the Directive. Furthermore, in order to

revise the Directive, a well underpinned impact assessment that looks at the technical and socioeconomic

aspects of different scenarios has to be prepared. An expertise contract is needed to provide for the

required technical underpinning for that impact assessment.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

The WHO representative explained that WHO has already started with the revision of its Guidelines for

drinking water quality and other related technical documents. WHO's European Office is currently

working closely with the COM services on defining the technical scope of the cooperation, which should

start before the end of the year. The aim is to have a good technical document by the end of the next year.

The Chairperson clarified that the further revision process of the Directive, including timelines and scope,

will consider the outcome of the ongoing Public Consultation under 'Right2water' ECI.

After this presentation, the Chairperson asked the Expert Group for comments. Members welcomed the

intended technical work and some members asked for clarifications on how the Expert Group will be

involved in the Directive revision process. The time frame of the revision process was also inquired

about. The Chairperson explained that obviously the Expert Group must be involved in the process, and

in this sense, some Expert Group are expected in 2014-2015 focused on the review of the Directive.

A time frame will depend on the result of the on-going public Consultation and on the mandate given by

the new Commissioner. It was explained that a revision process like this usually takes 2-3 years (mainly

due to the binding impact assessment process).

Conclusion

The chairman concluded that the Commission want to have a thorough technical underpinning for a

revision of the parameter list and possible review of the Directive, welcomed the support of MS to this

work and confirmed that the EG will be closely involved in the progress and (intermediate) results of this

work.

Reporting Exercise 2011-2013

Introduction

A representative of ETC/ICM made a presentation on the new version of the Guidance Document on

reporting under the Drinking Water Directive 98/83/EC, which was circulated before the meeting. The

main changes from the old version of the Guidance were highlighted. The changes which were

introduced in the new version of the templates for reporting were also briefly described. It was stressed

that the new reporting exercise aims to stay as close as possible to the former reporting exercise. The

proposed minor changes aim to facilitate processing of data. The only significant proposed change relate

to provision of geo-referenced data for water supplies, that would allow the production of overview maps

allowing to inform the public in a more attractive way.

In addition, the COM made a short presentation on the situation of the Structured Implementation and

Information Frameworks (SIIF). SIIF principles and approach were presented, as well as some examples

of the possible application of SIIF to the DWD (e.g. map viewers and links to drinking water national

web sites) to be considered in the context of developing a new concept for reporting under the Drinking

Water Directive..

Discussion

After these presentations, the Chairperson asked the Expert Group for comments.

Several MS stated that, at the moment, they were not able to deliver neither the geographic information

requested in the templates (as water supply zone centroid coordinates, postal codes, etc.) nor geo-

referenced shape files. Other MS expressed their concerns about information requested in non-mandatory

sheets related to small water supply zones of the template (especially information on derogations).

The Chairperson explained that those MS that are not able to fill the data on geographic information are

not obligated to do so, but underlined the use geographic information allowing better information towards

the public. As regards information about derogations on small water supply zones, as it is non-mandatory,

MS do not need to send this data to the COM.

Conclusion

The Chairperson informed that the COM will reflect internally after the meeting on the templates and the

Guidance document, taking into account MS comments and suggestions expressed in the Expert Group.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

MS were invited to confirm these comments in writing and to send any additional comments. An updated

version of the Guidance will be circulated by mid-July, allowing MS to proceed preparation of the

reporting..

2013/51/EURATOM

Introduction

The COM (DG ENER) gave an update on the new Directive 2013/51/EURATOM

. The main contents of

the Directive were pointed out and explained. The COM (DG ENER) stressed a need to explicitly repeal

the radioactivity section of Annex I Part C of the DWD for reasons of legal clarity, unless the new legal

instrument repeals the DWD or the Annex I as a whole. The COM (DG ENER) informed Expert Group

that it is currently working on a strategy to accompany the transposition of the Directive into national

law, and in this sense a questionnaire was sent to the members of the Atomic Questions Group in order to

timely detect any problematic issues in transposition or implementation. For this purpose, a workshop is

expected at the end of the year 2014. The members of the Expert Group under DWD are invited to attend

if they consider it necessary.

The Chairperson clarified that this new Directive does not have an associated formal Committee or

Expert Group, therefore the Expert Group under DWD may serve as connection with the COM in terms

of drinking water expertise and implementation of this new Directive.

A comment to the above:

since the EURATOM Treaty does not refer to any Committee except the

Economic and Social Committee, there is no legal basis to associate one. Thus, the Article 31 Group of

Experts remains the only expert group that COM has to consult in respect of legal acts under the

EURATOM Treaty. However, to ensure coherence between the Directives, we would like to continue our

constructive, even if somewhat informal, collaboration.

After the introduction, the Chairperson opened the floor for comments.

Asked for clarification on reporting obligations, the COM (DG ENER) stated that there was no obligation

to report to the COM in the new Directive; however, highlighted that the Article 35 of the EURATOM

Treaty provides means for the COM (DG ENER) to inspect directly. MS only have to inform the public if

a problematic situation is expected. Some MS suggested that reporting under the new Directive could be

integrated under reporting system under DWD.

Conclusion

The Chairperson thanked the DG ENER representative for the information provided and invited the

Expert Group to send comments and suggestion on this issue in writing. The chairman said ENV would

coordinate with DG ENER to ensure that relevant issues for discussion with MS are coordinated back to

back with DWD EG meetings.

12.1. Groundwater workshop 1-2 Oct (Rome)

Introduction

The COM gave a presentation on the next joint Workshop Drinking Water Surface Water- Groundwater

that will be held 1 and 2 Oct 2014 in Rome. The planned structure of this workshop and the main topics

were highlighted. The Expert Group members were asked to contribute to this Workshop.

After the presentation, some MS asked for more information on the aim and the issues that will be

discussed in this workshop. Some potential topics for this workshop were proposed by MS. Some MS

offered to give a presentation at the workshop.

Conclusion

The Expert Group took note of the information provided. The Chairperson invited MS and observers to

send comments and suggestions on this workshop before 9 July 2014 and informed that contact data of

the Expert Group members will be communicate to the meeting organizers for further information

exchanges. It was agreed.

12.2. Metabolites

Introduction

A representative of Germany (DE) explained that a question on metabolites in drinking water was sent to

the COM. DE wants to know how to assess the relevance of a metabolite derived from pesticides in

drinking water and how to act if a specific metabolite overcomes the parametric value set up in the DWD

(0,1 g/l). DE stated that the existing document "Guidance document on the assessment of the relevance

of metabolites in groundwater under Council Directive 91/414/EEC" is not directly addressed to drinking

water, and, moreover, it is not binding. It was pointed out that this is a question with several practical and

economics implications.

The representative of WHO clarified as the importance for determining the source in case of the presence

of a metabolite, and this is the main criteria in the assessment of its relevance.

Some MS asked about an official position on this issue. However, COM clarified that for a proper

assessment it prefers to know experiences in other MS.

Conclusion

The Chairperson invited the members of the Expert Group to send comments or suggestions about their

position on this issue in writing to the COM before 31 Aug 2014. After an internal technical reflection

and taking into account the answers of MS, the COM will prepare a position paper for circulation to the

Expert Group members, subject to discussion in the next meeting.

Introduction

The COM made a short presentation on two complementary studies: "Potential for Growth and Job

Creation through the Protection of Water Resources" and Potential for stimulating sustainable growth in

the water industry sector in the EU

The studies cover macroeconomic relevance of water sector (irrigation, hydropower, water industries,

etc.) as well as its strategic importance for national economies. The key messages from the study were

presented to the Expert Group and it was clarified that the studies, including separate MS fiches

summarizing the key economic water related data per MS will be published shortly on the ENV

webpages.

Conclusion

The Expert Group took note of the information provided

12.4. Drinking water on ships

Introduction

The COM informed the Expert Group about the Commission response to a specific request from DE on

the legal regime applicable to drinking water treatment plants on board ships, which was circulated

before the meeting.

A. New water supply zone defined which is polluted:

Is there no other supply or no appropriate treatment?

What type of pollution is it? Natual background or human activites?

What are the actions that will be taken to introduce adequate water resource

protection and treatment?

What is remediation plan and timetable? (also other conditions of Art. 9.3)

B. WSZ in compliance on 25/12/2003

-> reasons why WSZ is no longer in compliance (burden of proof with

MS)

participants is annexed.

The Expert Group (EG) was chaired by Els the Roeck (DG ENV). The European Commission

(COM) was represented by DG Environment (DG ENV): (Chairperson), Tobias Biermann

(TB), Christof Mainz (ChM), Clementine Leroy (CL), Maja Feder (MF).

All documents and presentations of the meeting are available in the CIRCABC folder

NTRODUCTION AND

DOPTION OF THE AGENDA

The Chairperson welcomed the participants, introduced the representatives of the COM and

explained the aim of the meeting. The new representative from Finland presented herself to

the participants of the meeting.

The draft agenda was circulated in advance and uploaded onto the CIRCABC platform. The

Chairperson informed the participants of the new point on the agenda, under AOB regarding

the Security Project and Workshop organised by DG HOME. No proposals for modification

were suggested by the participants and the agenda was adopted unanimously (see annex 1).

DOPTION OF THE MINUTES OF THE EXPERT MEETING OF

22/01/2016

All participants agreed to accept the draft minutes without change.

The Chairperson inquired whether the participants wanted to give any feedback or comment

on the on-going research presented in the last meeting. One participant suggested that the

water.

REPORTING

(

RESULTS OF REPORTING EXERCISE

2016)

2011-2013,

UPCOMING EXERCISE

2014-

The Commission services informed the participants of the results of the last reporting for the

period 2011-2013 and stated that they are expected to be officially published shortly

The Chairperson informed the participants of the foreseen format of the next reporting

exercise for 2014-2016. EEA will no longer work on the data related to drinking water.

Reporting will continue through the Eionet/Reportnet. If possible the same format should be

maintained, and it needs to be made very clear which format this implies (i.e. date of release

or update). DG ENV has the intention to set up a contract to handle the data and quality

checks and maintain contacts with the MS on reporting. The above being the reason for the

delay in the dispatch of the data request by the COM. Some participants expressed concerns

about the missing formats and explained that changes in format cause substantial costs in

terms of time and effort needed for their implementation. They emphasized that they will only

report upon official legally binding data requests. In reply to a suggestion coming from one of

the participants that there was no need for the data and quality check the Chairperson stressed

again the fact that contractor's help was necessary as not all MS provided good quality data.

HORT UPDATE BY THE

OMMISSION ON THE INFRINGEMENTS

The Commission services gave the update on the ongoing infringements and EU Pilots.

Currently there is one EU Pilot open and two ongoing infringement cases.

5. D

EROGATIONS

OUR DE TABLE

The Commission services recalled to the participants the discussion on derogation article that

took place at the expert group's meeting of 27 May 2015 and reminded them that no

derogation could be granted anymore. The Commission services explained that Article 9

should never be used to delay the implementation unduly. However, as explained also at the

previous meeting, derogations outside the 'normal' timelines of 3+3+3 years after entry into

force of the Directive or after Accessions could be accepted in duly justified cases, in case of

newly arising circumstances (for instance if a new water supply zone has been defined or a

value for a new parameter is identified in accordance with Article 5 (3) or a new value for

existing parameters is established). One participant wondered why Article 9 of the Directive

could not be used whereas the new Annex 2 allows this for finding new parameters.

All MS were invited to give a brief oral summary on derogations granted during the 2011-13

reporting period, as well as on current ones. Some MS reported on a few ongoing derogations,

and some others reported that currently no derogations were granted.

UPPLIES

(SWS)

The Commission services informed the participants about the background of the survey on

small water supplies launched in July. Since the voluntary reporting exercise for the year 2010

there still are doubts about the drinking water monitoring and quality in small supplies. Only

15 MS responded in reply to the reporting exercise 2011-2013. Therefore the legal unit of DG

ENV has requested updated information on the situation in small supplies.

The Commission thanked the 21 MS that replied to the questionnaire so far and informed the

MS that the feedback would also feed into the ongoing review and presented the compiled

information. The interesting results show inter alia microbiological compliance in small

supplies for those who reported increased to in average 98 % compliance. The MS identified

the following issues as most often occurring difficulties: problems with microbiology

compliance in SWS, limited knowledge on site, no resources available onsite. Iron, nitrates

and manganese were mentioned as three parameters most frequently causing problems. It was

agreed that the responsibility of the small water suppliers for drinking water quality,

monitoring and management should be more emphasised. WHO regional office for Europe

(WHO) supported the COM initiative and stressed that problems related to SWS were

persistent. WHO is working on updating the guidelines on small supplies, taking on board the

problems presented. A good practice document for MS is scheduled to be published within

next two months. WHO emphasised that compliance shouldn't be the only aspect taken into

consideration. A few MS promised to respond to the questionnaire, others offered to share

study reports or videos, and some stressed the importance of the amended Annex II for small

supplies. Several other aspects were mentioned that could contribute to improve the situation,

i.e. the risk-based approach and water safety plan development, the identification of the

critical aspects, inspections, checklists, awarenesss raising, campaigns targeting sceptic tank

owners, or taking owners of private wells that fail to meet requirements regarding quality or

monitoring to court. Finally, it was agreed that existing promotional material from the MS

should be further shared and the possible ways of using it should be analysed. DG ENV

suggested that the task force further described below under point 11 would be useful to

discuss which small supply specificities should be established. This suggestion found a

positive echo, and volunteers from so far DE, BE Wallonia, WHO, and FI offered to

cooperate informally and to prepare a short paper by the end of this year.

FEEDBACK FROM THE

EMEG

MEETING ON

21/09/2016

The Commission services presented the main points discussed in the EMEG group meeting on

20 September 2016, especially information on the EMEG website and relevant alternative

methods.

A new proposal has been submitted for assessment (Pseudomonas aeruginosa (EN ISO

16266). The parameter is not a Group A parameter in the new Annex II and is used for

operational monitoring purposes 'only' (following Art. 5 (2) DWD). However, the new Annex

hods of analysis are

III (2015) contains in

EN ISO 16266 as standard for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its use might be

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

relevant for remedial action or if identified as other parameter relevant in monitoring

programmes. As the alternative method is in use in several MS (inter alia widely for pool

testing) and there is a relation to the DWD (e.g. tap water in hospitals), EMEG should validate

the alternative method. It is suggested to validate alternative methods in future for parameter

listed in Annex and where ISO standards are given.

For alternative method in use (here: LSA method for E.coli) validated against an 'old' standard

(here ISO 9308-1:2000), EMEG proposed to the Expert Group that in case a new standard

comes into place, new validation processes shall use the new standard (ISO 9308-1:2014).

Methods validated against old standard before the publication date of the new standard,

should be considered valid without transitional period.

A change of the mandate of the EMEG group was proposed, including explicitly the Bathing

Water Directive in the scope of its work. This would allow the Commission to register EMEG

as an official sub-Expert Group of the Bathing Water Expert Group.

MS were requested to provide feedback within 4 weeks after sending the draft minutes. If no

objections will be raised within this timeframe, the updated EMEG mandate will be

considered accepted by the DWD Expert Group.

8. S

TATE OF PLAY

ATER REUSE

NITIATIVE

The Commission services gave an update on the Water reuse initiative. Participants welcomed

the information on the initiative and its timing. Nevertheless, MS highlighted that sanitation

safety plans should be in place, and that economic values should not be the only driver of the

initiative. It was further suggested that a link with the REACH legislation should be made.

The Commission services clarified that reuse of water in buildings was not to be covered by

the initiative. In response to comments that the promotion of water reuse should not affect

health, the Commission services responded that in the EU so far no evidence was found that

reuse practices would provoke health problems. Participants wondered why the reuse-

initiative falls under the circular economy package (in face of fact that a water cycle is given

by nature; the issue is not one of closing cycles but rather one of managing them at the locally

optimal scale in order to keep sufficient amounts of water locally available). The Commission

services announced an informal consultation also of the DWD expert group on a draft JRC to

be issued report in October 2016, and that the ad-hoc reuse working group would meet by

mid-October.

TATE OF TRANSPOSITION IN THE

MS,

IMPLEMENTATION OF RISK

BASED APPROACH

As a follow-up to the Committee Meeting of 20 April 2015, where it was agreed to regularly

follow up the transposition of this amending Directive, the Commission services asked the

MS in a tour de table about the status of transposition and whether they refer to the risk

assessment approach. All MS present reported back on the state of play of their national

transposition. Practically all MS tend to refer to a risk assessment approach, with a slight

majority in favour of implementing it as optional.

In the discussion it was highlighted that the reporting under the DWD must consider the

implementation of the new Annexes. It was suggested that a task force should be established

very soon, because changes in reporting formats need sufficient time in advance.

STUDIES

The Commission services gave an update on two studies, an impact assessment study and a

study on materials and products in contact with drinking water. The work under both studies

advances well. The reports are to be finalised still this year.

In the discussion questions were raised whether the options of the impact assessment study

include also access to water as a follow-up to the European Citizens initiative, and whether

benchmark information has been considered beyond water quality and transparency. Both

questions were affirmed. For the review, the importance of organoleptic parameters was

highlighted. It was suggested that outbreaks should be taken into account, and that emergency

cases should be reported. Participants asked not to delay the revision as this could have

negative impacts on consumers.

For the materials and products in contact with drinking water study, a few volunteers offered

to help with editing the text of a guidance for users and plumbers. MS were invited to double-

check the accuracy of tables with links to national authorities and product approval bodies

that will be made available with these minutes, and that shall be published within the study

report. The Commission services clarified that the purpose of the guidance for users and

plumbers is not an alibi function to replace a further follow up, but that another task of the

study would be an inception impact assessment that will map possible policy options to

facilitate the discussion on an appropriate way forward.

project. It was clarified that a two week period is foreseen after the meeting for written

comments.

OLE OF THE EXPERT GROUP IN THE PLANNED REVISION

NEXT MEETINGS

The Commission services recalled, although the remit of the expert group is rather the

implementation of the Directive and not its revision, that technical input and knowledge from

MS is highly appreciated to support the review process. Two specific areas were identified

where technical assistance would be welcome, i.e. from MS having developed national

legislation, 1) to better define small supplies and a proportionate approach for them, and 2) on

up-to-date consumer information and reporting requirements. Several participants

immediately raised their hands to join an informal task force for topic 1. Participants are

invited to confirm their interest in these task forces. It is intended that cooperation will be

organised predominantly by email.

14.

AOB

The Commission services informed the participants of a security workshop on 12-13

December 2016 in Brussels. Further information and an agenda will be made available in due

course.

A question was raised about a draft document on water filters that was on the agenda of the

expert group meeting in December 2014 and on which comments were provided. The

Commission services replied that the draft has not been pursued further as it seems that some

contradictions could not be clarified. The origin and the lead for this document is within DG

Sante.

One MS noted positively that the meeting was good content wise, and thanked the

Commission for the work invested in communicating the progress on the on-going processes,

initiatives and studies.

The Commission services have taken note of the explanations provided in your Email.

For the supply Vandcenter Djurs, we remark that a maximum value shall be determined,

provided no derogation constitutes a potential danger to human health and provided that

the supply of water intended for human consumption in the area concerned cannot

otherwise be maintained by any other reasonable means.

As presented in several meetings of the Drinking Water expert groups

, Member States

can make use of the derogations from the parametric values for a maximum of 9 years,

starting from the timescale for compliance (Art.14) of the Directive.

This means that

https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/4f1eed70-0d5f-42df-8b19-9b136cc91d51/05%20-%20Derogations.pdf

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

Denmark could self-grant first and second derogations as from 1 May 2004 (for a

maximum of 6 years in total), while third derogations had to end by 1 May 2013.

derogation (COM)

derogation

Without evidence that the derogations notified concern a particular case that would

justify derogation from the general approach (e.g. the derogation is requested for a new

parametric value, a newly designated water supply zone or new source of pollution), the

Commission must conclude that the derogations for the five supplies listed above would

be in breach of the Drinking Water Directive.

The Commission recalls in that regard that the burden of proof for demonstrating that this

derogation falls into one of these particular cases lies with the Member State concerned,

and that, if the source of pollution is of geogenic nature, due to human activities (for

instance intensive agriculture) or bad implementation of other EU legislation (Pesticides,

Nitrates, WFD, etc.), it will be difficult to justify granting a derogation later than the

deadlines indicated above.

On the basis of these considerations, the Commission services must conclude that the

water supply zones presented in the Email of 11/05/2020 are in breach of Article 4 of the

Directive, unless additional evidence to conclude otherwise is presented.

In any case, the Commission reserves its right to take appropriate action should it be

informed of any derogation or presented with a request for a derogation under Article

9(2) not fulfilling the conditions set out in the Directive, or should it identify a breach of

the Directive on its own initiative.

Yours sincerely,

(e-signed)

Ref. HERHA

Den 5. november 2020

Miljøstyrelsen beder om kopi af dispensationer givet efter

drikkevandsbekendtgørelsen fra 2013 til i dag

I forlængelse af brevet udsendt til kommunerne d. 3. november 2020, omkring

”Revideret juridisk vurdering af drikkevandsdirektivet (98/83/EF) indsnævrer

muligheder for at meddele dispensationer efter drikkevandsbekendtgørelsen”,

beder Miljøstyrelsen de enkelte kommuner om at indsende information vedr.

dispensationer.

Miljøstyrelsen vil gerne bede de enkelte kommuner om at indsende alle

dispensationer meddelt fra 2013 og til dags dato i form af pdf-kopier. Såfremt

kommunen ikke har givet dispensationer i denne periode, skal vi bede om en

kvittering på dette. Materialet ønskes fremsendt til undertegnede senest

torsdag

d. 12. november kl 12:00.

Henvendelsen skyldes et behov for at sikre et fuldstændigt overblik over alle

dispensationer givet siden 2013.

En bruttoliste over de dispensationer, som Styrelsen har kendskab til, er vedhæftet

e-mailen sammen med dette brev. Det er ikke nødvendigt at fremsende kopi af

dispensationer, som fremgår af oversigten, idet styrelsen allerede er i besiddelse af

disse. Men vi vil under alle omstændigheder gerne have en tilbagemelding, så vi

kan være sikre på, at kommunen har nået at forholde sig til denne henvendelse.

Vi beklager den korte frist.

Med venlig hilsen

Bilag 16

Overblik over meddelte dispensationer 2013-2020

Tabel 1 opsummerer dispensationer givet i perioden fra 2013 til november 2020 opgjort

efter stof/parameter. De angivne stoffer og parametre er omfattet af

drikkevandsbekendtgørelsens kvalitetskrav, jf. bekendtgørelsens bilag 1a-1d. Bilag 1a-1b

omfatter naturlige hovedbestanddele og sporstoffer. Bilag 1c omfatter organiske

mikroforureninger, herunder pesticid-stoffer. Bilag 1d omfatter mikrobiologiske parametre.

Tabel 1 opsummerer desuden, hvor mange af de givne dispensationer, som fortsat er

gældende. Det bemærkes, at enkelte afgørelser om dispensation omfatter flere stoffer, og at

antallet af dispensationer dermed ikke er enslydende med antallet af afgørelser om

dispensation.

Tabel 1.

Oversigt over meddelte dispensationer i afgørelser i perioden 2013-2020. Med grøn

Det bemærkes, at det er under afklaring i Miljøministeriet, om DMS skal defineres som en relevant

metabolit. Hvis DMS vurderes ikke-relevant metabolit, så er de anførte 12 dispensationer ikke i konflikt

med direktivet.

MOF, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 162: Miljøstyrelsens redegørelse og bilag vedrørende sag om drikkevandsdirektivet, fra miljøministeren

Med afsæt i den foreløbige juridiske vurdering, der ligger til grund for departementets

tidligere opgørelse, viser Miljøstyrelsens gennemgang, at i alt 17 af de gældende afgørelser

om dispensation kan være i konflikt med dispensationsmuligheden efter direktivet. Det

bemærkes dog, at 12 afgørelser vedrører metabolitten DMS, og at det er under afklaring om

DMS er omfattet af direktivet.

Tabel 2 opsummerer antallet af dispensationsafgørelser i perioden 2013 til november 2020

opgjort efter år, og hvor mange af disse der stadig er gældende.

I alt

Langt hovedparten af dispensationerne er givet fra 2017 og frem som følge af de udvidede

krav til vandværkernes pesticidanalyser, der medførte, at man begyndte at analysere for og

finde overskridelser af kravværdierne for særligt DPC og DMS.

Miljøstyrelsen har kendskab til enkelte andre dispensationer, som vedrører tidligere

nationalt gældende krav til vandkvaliteten fra vandværket, men som ikke vedrører

drikkevandskvaliteten ved forbrugeren, og som derfor med sikkerhed ikke er relevante i

forhold til direktivet.
