The adoption of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (Directive) in 1991 in the European Union (EU) promoted the improvement of urban waste water treatment in the EU Member States. The recently published 10th report on the implementation of the Directive (2020) shows that compliance rates with EU waste water collection and treatment rules are high and have increased compared to the previous reporting period. According to this report, 95% of waste water in the EU is collected and 88% is biologically treated.
