(CS) The European Court of Justice has fined Luxembourg two million euros for not complying with a 2006 verdict, demanding the refurbishment of several water treatment plants across the country.
In 2006 the ECJ had ruled that the Grand Duchy was in violation of an EU directive on water treatment facilities. Twelve plants in Luxembourg, which process water of towns with more than 10,000 inhabitants, were found to be ill-equipped for the denitrification process of water filtering.
