Green NGOs call on EU regarding Denmark's delay in water environment efforts
Denmark has postponed the necessary measures to achieve good condition in lakes, rivers, and groundwater until 2033, which is six years later than required by EU law. This has drawn sharp criticism from four green NGOs, including the Danish Society for Nature Conservation and Greenpeace, who have filed a complaint with the EU Commission. According to these organizations, Denmark is violating the EU Water Framework Directive, risking legal action and potential fines.
