The Court of Justice of the European Union (EU) has been declared guilty Spain for violating Community standards of wastewater treatment in 38 urban agglomerations, nine of which are in the Galician community. Three are the cities of A Coruña, Santiago and Vigo, a list which is compounded by the towns of Noia, affection, Ribeira, Baiona, Tui and Viveiro. With this ruling, judges give reason to the EU Executive. The Commission decided last July to attend the High Court to check that Spain had failed to comply with the directive on urban waste water treatment. A rule of 1991, which established the obligation for States that, within a period of ten years, the nuclei of more than 15,000 inhabitants should have integral sanitation. The date of the 2001 also forced those localities of less population count with an industrial wastewater to produce an equivalent proportion.

The condemnation, made public yesterday, addresses Spain to the payment of the costs involved, but does not carry a fine, except that the Commission open a new file if you check the persistence of non-compliance. The ruling concludes that, "in the light of the information provided by Spain", the wastewater of A Coruña, Tui, Vigo, Santiago, Noia, Ribeira, Baiona, Viveiro and affection "are not subject to the planned processing even though in these agglomerations are developing projects of construction or renovation of stations" to correct the deficiencies.

The Court recalls that when it comes to adjudicate on non-compliance has taken into account the situation in these areas in February of 2009, deadline set by the Commission before bringing the case before the European courts. Therefore, points out that the changes that occurred after and alleged by Spain can not be taken into account. The Galician President, Núñez Feijoo, yesterday emphasized that the Xunta is fulfilling all its obligations in the field of sanitation.
