Summary:

Water pollution in the Danube river basin originates from various sources such as households, industrial installations and agriculture.

Under the 2000 water framework directive, Member States adopt river basin management plans which have to include measures to combat this pollution. The Court examined whether the Member States’ implementation of the measures of the 2009 plans led to an improvement in water quality.
