I move:

That Seanad Éireann:(1) notes the agreed Report of the Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government under Standing Order 116 on the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the quality of water intended for human consumption - COM(2017)753, which was laid before Seanad Éireann on 27 March 2018 in accordance with Standing Order 116(3)(b);

(2) having regard to the aforementioned Report, and in exercise of its functions under section 7(3) of the European Union Act 2009, is of the opinion that the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the quality of water intended for human consumption - COM(2017)753, does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity for the reasons set out in section 4 of the Report; and

(3) notes that, pursuant to Standing Order 116(4), a copy of this Resolution together with the reasoned opinion and the aforementioned Report shall be sent to the Presidents of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.”
