For example agriculture is a key source of diffuse pollution.
Diffuse pollution from agricultural land is still the main source of nitrate in water.
The agricultural sector is the primary source of diffuse pollution.
Diffuse pollution from agriculture represents a major pressure, affecting over 90% of river basins.
However, challenges still remain, especially with regards to diffuse pollution from agriculture.
Diffuse pollution significantly affects20 90% of river basin districts, 50% of surface water bodies and 33% of groundwater bodies across the EU.
Member States need to strengthen their basic measures to tackle diffuse pollution caused by agriculture.
Observations 22 40 For instance, figures concerning diffuse pollution in Latvia's river basin management plans are lower than the corresponding figures in the Helcom database referred to in the same year.
In certain cases there is a paucity ofinformation about the complex causal relationships underlying diffuse pollution and resource use.
The first will take an integrated approach to reduce diffuse pollution from agriculture, in support of the Water Framework Directive.
The Court recommends that the Commission provides guidance on the possible methods forrecovery of environmental damage costs in the field of diffuse pollution.
The application of the тpolluter paysу principle in the field of diffuse pollution from agriculture faces methodological problems.
These apparent inconsistencies raise questions about the reliability of monitoring data,in particular as regards the figures on transboundary pollution and diffuse pollution.
These river basin management plans also include measures for the control of diffuse pollution(see paragraph 10) which however were already in place before the adoption of the plans.
The PoMs consist of compulsory basic measures, including some taken under a number of directives that pre-date the WFD and other WFD specific, such as controls on water abstraction,discharges, diffuse pollution or the physical alteration of water bodies.
This is particularly true in the case of data on transboundary and diffuse pollution, which is crucial for a fair allocation of reduction targets by country and for establishing appropriate measures(see paragraphs 37 to 41).
This includes the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, the Nitrates Directive, the Directive on Sustainable Use of Pesticides, and the Industrial Emissions Directive,which play a key role in tackling point source and diffuse pollution and should therefore be taken into account in RBMPs and PoMs.
At the time the ex ante was assessed the Commissionalso communicated to the Member States the need for diffuse pollution costs to be recovered, but because this was not covered by the EAFRD there was no specific requirement in the action plans on this.
It also recommends ensuring the new proposal is consistent with legislation that is currently in force, and that appropriate European legislation be adopted in relation to certain sources of pollution thatare not covered by existing legislation(such as diffuse pollution from household products).
Because some significant sources of pollution are not covered by appropriate regulations, such as diffuse pollution emanating from household products or service industries, which would require new directives on products.
Within the Common Implementation Strategy, MS recently agreed to work on a technical report identifying the approaches currently in place regarding cost recovery for water services in line with the requirements of Article9 of the Water Framework Directive(including in the field of diffuse pollution).
Despite the fact that 63% of river basin districts reported that implementation of the NitratesDirective is not enough to tackle diffuse pollution to the level needed to secure WFD objectives, necessary measures have not been added to address the remaining shortcomings.
The Court addressed the following three questions:(a) Were the measures in the 2009 river basin management plans well targeted and of a type and extent necessary to ensure the achievement of good water quality in 2015?(b) Are the measures and instruments implemented by the Member States appropriate to reduce pollution by waste waters?(c) Are the measures andinstruments implemented by the Member States appropriate to reduce diffuse pollution from agriculture?
However, in all the Member States visited, neither the legislation nor the minimum requirements for fertilisers and pesticides35 in certain rural development measures northe measures for the control of diffuse pollution in the river basin management plans impose such a limit on the use of phosphorus in fertilisers(see paragraph 29).
For all four Member States the Commission remarked that the costs resulting from diffuse pollution from the agricultural sector should be calculated and included in the economic analysis of costs and their recovery, but it does not request an action plan for Member States that do not or only partially recover the costs of diffuse pollution. .
EEA report No 8/2012 recognises that the positive evolution of nitrate concentrations is partly due to measures to reduce agricultural inputs of nitrates at European and Member State level,but that‘additional measures are needed to reduce diffuse pollution if the majority of water bodies are to have nitrate levels comparable to high or good ecological status in 2027'.
Conclusions and recommendations 61 Implementation of measures to tackle diffuse pollution from agriculture 183 In general, Member States made better use of the nitrates directive but were reluctant to make full use of the instruments available such as the enforcement mechanisms, the GAEC standards under cross-compliance, the rural development measures and the тpolluter paysу principle.
However, the Commission communication(point 3) seems rather optimistic in its assessment of the legal instruments that Member States can use to achieve the WFD objectives relating to priority substances, particularly because some significant sources of pollution are not covered by appropriate regulations,such as diffuse pollution emanating from household products or service industries, which would require new directives on products.
Under the water framework directive, where the basic measures-implementation of the nitrates directive and the other measures for the control of diffuse pollution(see paragraph 29)- are insufficient to achieve good water status, as is the case in the Baltic Sea region, supplementary measures should be implemented in the catchment areas of water bodies which are failing to achieve good water status.
This detailed assessment of the different pollution sources is known as a‘source apportionment approach'(comprehensive waterborne pollution load compilations- PLC), which quantifies waterborne discharges from point sources(agglom-erations,industries and fish farms) and from diffuse pollution sources(agriculture, managed forestry, atmospheric deposition, scattered dwellings and rainwater) as well as natural background losses into inland surface waters.
