Ecologists in Action, to the reports in the press after the ruling of the European Court of Justice condemned Spain for the treatment of sewage, you contradict the statement by the Ministry of Environment.
As reported El Pais "the Commission requested the Government to meet wastewater treatment in 2015, horizon to which Brussels would never denounce the English government over the issue, according to the Ministry of Environment. " It is true that the Commission has granted this extension of compliance until 2015. The English state is in a situation of illegality in relation to sewage treatment today, as the Court made clear in its ruling.
The European Commission, predictably, will commence a second infringement procedure in a few months before the end of the year the matter may be back in court. Considering that this lawsuit is resolved in less than a year, the court may issue a new decision before the end of 2012. The second sentence would bring economic sanctions. These sanctions consist of a lump sum, plus a penalty, which sets a daily amount to be paid until the water treatment is that established by the legislation.
The last time the European Court of Justice imposed such penalty in our country was in 2005 for failing to comply with the quality of bathing water. The penalty was € 624.150 per year for every 1% of bathing waters that did not meet quality standards.
