Romania, 400 urban areas do not comply EU waste water rules

EC sent letter of notice, 189 agglomerations not in conformity

08 June, 15:28
(ANSA) - BUCHAREST - The European Commission has sent a letter of notice to Romania for its failure to comply with EU rules on urban waste water treatment in large urban areas.

A total of 189 large agglomerations in the country are still not in conformity with the urban waste water collection obligations under EU law, while 198 large agglomerations do not comply with treatment obligations, according to the data provided by the Romanian authorities to the EC.

After Romania's accession to the EU, large agglomerations should have ensured adequate collection of urban waste water by the end of 2013 and treatment by the end of 2015, as highlights Romania-Insider.com. (ANSA).
