The rules protect water resources, fresh and saltwater ecosystems, and ensure our drinking and bathing water are clean. In the context of the European Green Deal, the Water Framework Directive provides the main framework and the objectives for water policy in Europe.</p><p>On 4 February 2025, the Commission launched a <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14491-European-Water-Resilience-Strategy_en">call for evidence</a> on the 'Have Your Say' portal to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to share input and help design the future <strong>Water Resilience Strategy, </strong>which aims to address the most pressing water-related challenges in Europe.</p><p><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14491-European-Water-Resilience-Strategy_en" class="ecl-link ecl-link--cta">'Have Your Say'</a></p><p>Read more about the <a href="/topics/water/water-framework-directive_en?prefLang=hr" class="ecl-link">Water Framework Directive</a></p></div> </div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_3970"></a> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2"> In the EU </h2> <div class="ecl-fact-figures ecl-fact-figures--col-3" ><div class="ecl-fact-figures__items"><div class="ecl-fact-figures__item"><div class="ecl-fact-figures__value">Only 37% </div><div class="ecl-fact-figures__title">of surface water bodies achieve good ecological status</div></div><div class="ecl-fact-figures__item"><div class="ecl-fact-figures__value">85% </div><div class="ecl-fact-figures__title">of bathing water sites are of excellent quality</div></div><div class="ecl-fact-figures__item"><div class="ecl-fact-figures__value">Over 90%</div><div class="ecl-fact-figures__title">of urban wastewater is dealt with in line with EU standards</div></div></div></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_3971"></a> <div> <div class="ecl"> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">Objectives</h2> </div> <div class="ecl"><p>The EU鈥檚 main aim is to ensure that all Europeans have access to good quality and sufficient water, and to guarantee the good status of all water bodies across Europe.
