rec_32

(32) Member States should be authorised, under certain conditions and in duly justified circumstances, to continue to grant derogations from this Directive and in this regard it is necessary to establish a proper framework for such derogations, provided that they do not constitute a potential danger to human health and provided that the supply of water intended for human consumption in the area concerned cannot be maintained by any other reasonable means. Those derogations should be limited to specific cases. Derogations granted by Member States pursuant to Directive 98/83/EC and still applicable at the end date for transposition of this Directive should continue to apply until the end of the derogation and renewed under this Directive only where a second derogation has not yet been granted.
