According to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) “Towards Efficient use of water resources in Europe”, Europe needs to redouble efforts in using water more efficiently to avoid undermining its economy. Inefficient water use impacts hard on the resources needed by ecosystems and people, both vital assets for European productivity and security.

While technological advances produce cleaner vehicles, more and more passengers and goods are travelling further distances, thereby offsetting efficiency gains. Based on analysis of long-term trends, a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report calls for a clear vision defining Europe's transport system by 2050 and consistent policies to achieve it.
The European Commission and the European Environment Agency launched a comprehensive new European pollutant release and transfer register – E-PRTR.
