EU Court Condemns Germany for Groundwater Pollution
Published on by Esther Rasenberg, Water News Europe in Government
Germany has breached EU law by exceeding the limits of nitrate in groundwater. Germany cannot comply to the EU’s Nitrates Directive because of excessive use of manure as a fertiliser.
On the 21st of June the European Court ruled that Germany has to take measures to comply to the law otherwise the European Commission will impose fines.
