Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy · European Union

When identifying river basin specific pollutants for which it could be necessary to set EQS at Union level, the Commission shall take into account the following criteria: the risk posed by the pollutants, including their hazard, their environmental concentrations and the concentration above which effects might be expected, as well as possible cumulative effects; the disparity between the national EQS set for river basin specific pollutants by different Member States and the degree to which such disparity is justifiable; the number of Member States already implementing EQS for the river basin specific pollutants under consideration.
