We think it is very important that a Council agreement can be reached on this file during the Belgian presidency so that new lists of water pollutants are adopted before the planning of measures for the next RBMPs starts in 2025. As you are aware, the EEB sent a letter to ministers Zakia Khattabi and Alain Maron on that point last week. But we also think that there are several points where the European Parliament position strengthen the Commission's proposal. I attach our joint position paper where we outline this in more detail. We would very much like to discuss this with you and wonder if you would be available for a meeting, in person or online, in the coming few weeks? With kind regards, European Environmental Bureau Rue des Deux Eolises 14-16
