Five environmental organizations have filed a complaint with the European Ombudsman accusing the European Commission of mismanagement in its plan to review the Water Framework Directive, arguing the revision process lacked proper evidence, consultation, and threatens existing water protections.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.
