Roswall

EU commissioners Roswall and Schneider have committed to stronger enforcement of the bloc's water legislation. The pledge signals a firmer line on ensuring member states comply with EU water quality and management rules, an area where implementation has long lagged behind targets set in existing directives.

European Commissioner for the Environment Jessika Roswall held a roundtable on the revision of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the EU's main law for protecting seas and oceans. The discussion brings together stakeholders to shape how the directive will be updated, with the Commission expected to propose changes to strengthen marine protection and address gaps in implementation.
