According to the commission opinion, as many as 19 percent of such places in Poland, that is 17 seaside resorts, do not meet EU standards. This result is even worse than the year before (14 percent). Only 81 percent of bathing areas meet minimal requirements of the EU directive on the purity of water, in 2006 it was 85 percent.
In other regions of Poland is much better. Basic EU standards in 2007 fulfiled 204 of them (79 percent). And tightened one 109 (42 percent). In 2006, it was 65 and 34 percent respectively.
