- EU lawmakers back suspension of wastewater cleanup rules in right-wing alliance
EU lawmakers voted to suspend parts of the wastewater cleanup law, citing concerns that requiring pharmaceutical companies to pay for removing micropollutants could exacerbate medicine shortages. The move calls for an independent study to reassess costs and sectoral responsibility, with conservative and right-wing groups opposing the polluter-pays principle while center-left lawmakers argue it risks public health.
