The Commission proposal contains provisions for the purification of municipal sewage, and of comparable industrial waste waters, and for the removal of the sewage sludge. What we need, however, are official data.

Primitive approaches to managing sewage continue to spread infections such as schistosomiasis, trachoma, viral hepatitis, and cholera.

I should like to add a word about sewage sludge, which is the subject of sharp controversy in Germany.

Frankly, Mr President, neither the straightforward dumping of raw sewage nor the use of long outfall pipes is the answer.

Many rivers, lakes, estuaries and even sea coasts are polluted by constant discharges of municipal sewage and industrial waste waters.

And if we jam nutrients, sewage, fertilizer in the base of that food pyramid, it can back up all through it.

If you flush a toilet, your feces will go to the sewage treatment plants, which are sold as assets, not liabilities.

Long outfall pipes are simply the sewage equivalent of tall chimneys in S02 pollution. They have the effect of simply shifting the

That is the basic principle which we Liberals, who believe in the polluter pays principle, also want to see applied to sewage.

I realize full well that we shall encounter many problems because relatively small municipalities will need to be connected to the sewage system.

To form part of the modern economy, firms and households need access to networks that deliver water and dispose of sewage and solid waste.

For this region, which has 50,000 residents, in summer sees its population soar to a million and the sewage treatment plants simply cannot cope.

On their website, the ecologists claim the trackers spilled out directly into the open air waterways outside the building, without encountering even the most rudimentary sewage filtration.

When she came into my life, we were fighting against a huge waste facility planned for the East River waterfront, despite the fact that our small part of New York City already handled more than 40 percent of the entire city's commercial waste a sewage treatment pelletizing plant, a sewage sludge plant, four power plants, the world's largest food distribution center, as well as other industries that bring more than 60,000 diesel truck trips to the area each week.

I would say to them that the price of water is made up of three components, namely the costs of supplying the drinking water, the costs of the sewage system and the costs of treating the waste water.

Now how many of you have ever gone to a state park or a national park where you had a big sign at the front saying, Closed because human sewage is so far over this park that you can't use it ?

This drinking water directive is highly regarded in the European Community. If we take a serious approach to that problem, then we must also be bold in the way we attack the protection of our waters, and in particular municipal sewage and industrial waste water.

However, the Commission have raised some important expectations and we think that it is only right that they do their utmost to assist with the very high cost of converting our sewage facilities so that wc can meet the standards that they themselves have set.

MONNIER BESOMBES (V), rapporteur.

I do not accept the rapporteur's view about the use of Article 100a. I think there is a problem about this and we ought to be pressing for the use of cooperation procedure in environmental matters at the intergovernmental conference but I do not think we should be confusing that with trying to plead that somehow or other there is going to be international trade in raw sewage.
