<p> </p><p>The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled, on 18 October 2012, that
by failing to ensure appropriate collection and associated treatment of urban waste
water at London and Whitburn, the United Kingdom had failed to fulfil its obligations
under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (Case C-301/10). The Department is
currently in discussion with the European Commission on how to give effect to the
Court’s judgment. Since May 2010, no other infraction cases in respect of matters
for which my Department is responsible have resulted in adverse judgements against
the UK by the European Court.</p><p> </p>
