Endvidere ser jeg frem til, at miljøkommissæren sørger for, dels at de mange indbyrdes modstridende vanddirektiver bringes i overensstemmelse med hinanden, samt dels at vandpolitikken integreres i andre politiske områder såsom landbrug, industri og transport, men hvor disse politiske områder underlægges hensynet til et bæredygtigt miljø.
I also look forward to the Environment Commissioner ensuring both that the many mutually contradictory water directives are made compatible with each other, and that water policy is incorporated into other policy areas such as agriculture, industry and transport, where these are subject to the consideration of a sustainable environment.
