    How do we achieve a harmonized European regulation of materials in contact with drinking water?
    (2017)
    On its way from the source to the tap, drinking water is exposed to myriad materials. Those can leach substances into the water which can alter its odour or taste, have human health relevance (e.g. bisphenol A, lead), or enhance microbial growth. Most components used for the abstraction, treatment and distribution of drinking water are permanently installed and have a long service life. It is therefore essential that they satisfy a high level of safety in order to keep our most vital food item clean and pure and protect human health.

    Recommendations for deriving EU minimum quality requirements for water reuse
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2017) Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    In this scientific opinion paper the German Environment Agency expresses its recommendations for the development of EU minimum quality requirements for water reuse for agricultural irrigation and aquifer recharge. More ambitious quality standards that complement the current EU legislation and are in line with the precautionary principle are needed to protect human health and the environment in a sustainable way.

    The Zero Pollution Action Plan as a chance for a cross-regulatory approach to pollution prevention and reduction
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2021) Conrad, André; Hildebrandt, Sophia; Klauk, Anja; Langner, Marcel; Schubert, Tim; Schulte, Christoph; Schwan, Johannes; Suhr, Michael; Tietjen, Lars; Vierke, Lena; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    To further prevent and reduce the pollution of air, water, and soil and to safeguard human health and well-being, the European regulatory framework needs to be improved to include a cross-regulatory approach. This scientific opinion paper presents such an approach for the systemic protection of air, water, soil and human health- the Zero Pollution Ambition Cycle developed by the German Environment Agency (UBA)- The implementation of the measures announced by the European Commission within the EU Action Plan 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' published in May 2021 is an excellent opportunity for the different stakeholders for further developing and applying this integrated approach.

    Towards sustainable plant protection
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2022) Bär, Susanne; Foit, Kaarina Pirko; Heß, Michael; Knillmann, Saskia; Kotschik, Pia; Kuppe, Konstantin; Matezki, Steffen; Müller, Alexandra; Otto, Sally; Petzold, Nora; Pieper, Silvia; Wogram, Jörn; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    With the new draft regulation on the "Sustainable Use of Plant Protection Products" (SUR), the European Commission is concretising the pesticide reduction target of 50% by 2030 stipulated in the Farm-to-Fork Strategy. The legally binding implementation of integrated pest management sets a new course for sustainable agriculture. However, for the success of practical implementation to contribute to species conservation and to create resilient ecosystems in the agricultural landscape, further preconditions are necessary. This scientific opinion paper provides four major recommendations for action that are needed from an environmental perspective to achieve the envisaged objectives. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de

    Moving forward: the European Commission's proposal for a Recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Bannick, Claus Gerhard; Flügel, Ines; Braun, Ulrike; Eisenträger, Adolf; Obermaier, Nathan; Osiek, Dirk; Rechenberg, Jörg; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    This scientific opinion paper discusses the key topics of the European Commission's Proposal for a Recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive. It shows how the proposed changes could affect wastewater treatment in Germany and highlights further refinement needs. In general, the proposal of the revised UWWTD is endorsed. The clear shift from basic wastewater collection and treatment to efficient wastewater management will have a positive influence on various environmental targets. It will also reduce the impact of wastewater treatment on the receiving water bodies as well as the impact of climate change on both, our cities, and the environment. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de
