Narrow majority in European Parliament to promote access to safe tap water for all European citizens
Brussels, 23/10/2018 (Agence Europe)

On Tuesday 23 October in Strasbourg, the European Parliament voted by a narrow majority (300 votes to 98, with 274 abstentions) in favour of revising the 1998 European Drinking Water Directive. 

MEPs want to improve the quality of tap water, promote access for all European citizens to clean and safe water, and better inform consumers about data that will encourage them to drink tap water with confidence, which is much cheaper than bottled water and better for the environment.
