From the Community Executive they assure that they are following the situation in detail and that contact with the UK is constant. In addition, they reminded that, after London’s exit from the European Union, there was a cooperation agreement in which non-regression clauses were set regarding the level of environmental projection and protection of the marine environment. If there is any kind of regression, the harmful impact on the Union territory should be evaluated and then appropriate action will be taken as the sea must be protected,” he concluded.
Background
While the UK is part of the EU, its Administration is required to comply with the Water Framework Directive, which requires member states to draw up watershed management plans to achieve good environmental status. But once you leave, you are no longer bound by those guidelines and can set your own rules. The problem is, if you include them, they don’t work as they should. In addition, England’s record in this regard when being part of a community club is not entirely clean. In fact, the country was brought to the fore European Union Court (CJEU) on two occasions—once in 2012 and another in 2017—for not taking the necessary actions to address untreated discharge due to flooding and overflow and therefore violating EU law.
