That is the conclusion of an evaluation report presented by the European Commission on the 6th of March 2025. One of the recommendations is to add other pollutants to the monitoring system. Also, monitoring should take place all year round and be modernized.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended that monitoring frequencies should be better adapted to local realities and cyanobacteria should be reflected in a classification system. In line with the WHO Guidelines, other pollutants\/parameters, besides the two bacteriological parameters (E. coli and intestinal enterococci) currently covered by the Bathing Water Directive, should be considered based on human health risks.<\/p>\n<p>The evaluation report states that the benefits of complying with the Bathing Water Directive outweigh its costs. The annual cost of implementing the bathing water rules are estimated at \u20ac575 million, but the monetized benefits of clean bathing water are estimated at \u20ac1.65 billion annually. The benefits include improved public health and tourism-related advantages. The main objective of the Bathing Water Directive is to safeguard the health and well-being of people bathing in EU waters and to protect the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waternewseurope.com\/european-commission-bathing-water-directive-needs-modernising-and-improvement\/\">Water News Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-699\/\">European Commission: Bathing Water Directive needs modernising<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18475,8112,4447,575,525],"class_list":["post-138886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bathing-water","tag-coronavirus","tag-directive","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-health"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138886\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
