欧洲委员会一直在建设一个数据库,借此他们能够随时了解各国在遵守水指令方面的进展,并且对各国水管理模式进行统一。但BIPE(法国经济和环境研究组织)去年的的报告指出,各成员国政府有着根本不同的水产业政策,以至各成员国内部在水经营模式上存在较大差异。 在法国,私营公司占主导,它们向80％的人口提供饮用水并负责废水收集和处理。80年代初,私营公司以高于地方当局的25％的价格提供服务,现在已经把差距缩小到约13％。 The European Commission has been building a database so that they can keep abreast of progress made by countries in complying with the water directives and harmonize national water management models. However, last year’s report by BIPE (French Economic and Environmental Research Organization) pointed out that all member governments have fundamentally different policies on aquaculture, and there is a big difference in the water management mode among member countries. In France, private companies dominate, providing drinking water to 80% of the population and collecting and disposing of wastewater. In the early 1980s, private companies provided services at prices 25% higher than local authorities and have now narrowed the gap to about 13%.
