Do you recognise this river ? Hint: It passes through Paris You probably heard that the Seine is getting a massive clean-up this year. This is important not only for the athletes competing but also for the local communities. The EU is also doing its part to ensure clean urban waterways. The EU Wastewater directive follows the ‘polluter pays' principle, so that the costs for the water protection are partially covered by the responsible industry.

EU Environment and Climate reposted this
👏 to a strong 2nd mandate Ursula von der Leyen which sets out a clear path to deepen what has been built up 🌿 & significantly strengthen the #EU further at home and globally 🌏 I am immensely grateful for the enormous opportunities given to us under the 1st #VdL mandate and equally proud of my colleagues in DG Environment for the historic strides we made on #Circularity, #ZeroPollution, #Biodiversity & #GreenDiplomacy under the #EGD. We used this opportunity to the fullest and laid the foundations which now can be implemented and deepened under the #2nd mandate for instance - by better access to capital for those managing #nature and #biodiversity , - by setting out a strategy for #sustainable #water #management , - by a new #Circular Economy Act, helping to create market demand for secondary materials and a single market for waste, notably in relation to critical raw materials. - by putting forward a new #chemicals industry package, aiming to simplify #REACH and provide clarity on “forever chemicals”, or #PFAS and - by shifting to a more sustainable pattern of production and #consumption, retaining the value of resources in our economy for longer. This is a moment to look forward with great confidence and renewed resolve but also a moment to cherish and humbly acknowledge some of DG ENVs “achievements”: See the infographic on environmental deliveries under the #EGD https://lnkd.in/gjZdbwWN See also the Green economy factsheet https://lnkd.in/eBGRxPwp And lastly a short video clip https://lnkd.in/evQAXFpN
