Excerpt
Excerpt: 1. INTRODUCTION: Protection of bathing waters has been one of the first, and one of the most successful, elements of European Water Policy. The 1976 Bathing Water Directive1 has not only set binding standards for bathing waters throughout the European Union, but also resulted in an unprecedented public awareness, as bathing water quality is perceived by the citizens as directly touching upon their daily life. The annual Bathing Water Report published by the Commission each year before the start of the bathing season, clearly underlines substantial progress in the quality of our bathing waters.
