Water blueprint to focus on enforcement, not new laws

EurActiv reports that the European Commission was expected to table a ‘Blueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Water Resources’ by mid-November 2012.

The blueprint – in effect a mandatory review of the EU’s water legislation – was aimed at improving efficiency, security of supply and strengthening enforcement. It also aimed to integrate EU policies to improve conservation in agricultural and cohesion programmes.
