French MEPs attack UK over sewage discharge

Three French members of the European Parliament allied to president Emmanuel Macron have called on Brussels to take action against the dumping of untreated sewage in the Channel and the North Sea by British water companies.

“We ask the Commission to use all political and legal means in its power to stop this,” Pierre Karleskind, Nathalie Loiseau and Stéphanie Yon-Courtin said in a letter to EU environmental commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius that they posted on Twitter.

“Since Brexit, the UK has excused itself from these environmental requirements,” they wrote. “It’s unacceptable . . . We are worried about the negative consequences on the marine environment we share with the UK and also about marine biodiversity and the activities of fishermen and shellfish farmers.”

Last week, the UK’s public health body called for the modernisation of the country’s sewage system after dozens of beaches were closed when heavy rainfall prompted water companies to dump waste into the sea.
