Roswall

European Commissioners Roswall and Schneider have committed to stronger enforcement of EU water legislation, according to the European Commission's environment department. The pledge signals firmer action to ensure member states comply with EU water rules, a persistent weak spot in environmental policy. Details of specific measures were not immediately available.

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.
