Monitoring and assessment in accordance with the EU Bathing Water Quality Directive (2006/7/EC) – guidelines for Member States - IzVRS

The project is funded by the European Commission.

Detailed presentation of the project

The Slovenian Water Institute (IzVRS) is participating in a four-year Framework Service Contract to support the implementation of the Water Framework Directive ENV.D.2/FRA/2012/0013/Framework Service Contract for the Support to the Implementation of the Water Industry Directives ENV.D.2/FRA/2012/0013, which has been in force since September 2012 and covers the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) and the Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC). IzVRS is one of six partners in the consortium (UBA, KWR, IzVRS, COWI, OIEau and WRc), led by Umweltbundesamt GmbH (UBA) from Austria. Within the consortium, IzVRS is the lead organisation for the Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) and has responded to service requests from the European Commission relating to the implementation of this directive.

Monitoring and Assessment in accordance with the EU Bathing Water Quality Directive (2006/7/EC) – Guidance for Member States – guidance for Member States is a specific contract following a service request from the European Commission and implementing the aforementioned framework contract ENV.D.2/FRA/2012/0013. The following partners participated in the project: UBA (project leader), WRc and IzVRS. The project was funded by the European Commission.

The aim of this specific contract (duration: 3 May 2013 – 2 March 2014) was to prepare a reference document that would contribute to a common understanding of the implementation of the main provisions of the Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) relating to monitoring and assessment, and to revise the procedure for assessing bathing water quality in the light of the interpretations set out in the reference document.

IzVRS participated in the drafting of the reference document on the monitoring and assessment of bathing water quality for EU Member States, led by the WRc (United Kingdom). This also included an analysis of a questionnaire on the implementation of the EU Bathing Water Quality Directive (2006/7/EC) in Member States.

The VRS led the review (assessment and proposed amendments) of the bathing water quality assessment procedure used by the European Topic Centre on Inland, Coastal and Marine Waters (ETC/ICM) at the European Environment Agency (EEA) uses when compiling the EEA’s annual report on bathing water quality in Europe.
