The Danish delegation took the floor, however, to voice its concern regarding the proposal to make mutual recognition compulsory within the same zone. This delegation wondered, in particular, whether this solution might not stand in the way of the measures its country had adopted to protect its groundwater. The Commission representative gave the assurance that Member States would retain all their options for defending the quality of water within their territory.

Dit zijn agendapunten die de Raad van de Europese Unie i niet hoeft te bespreken tijdens een Raadsvergadering i. A-punten worden als hamerstuk (zonder discussie) afgehandeld en goedgekeurd omdat binnen het Comité van Permanente Vertegenwoordigers (Coreper) i, raadswerkgroepen i of een andere Raadsformatie i al overeenstemming is bereikt. Dit in tegenstelling tot B-punten i, waarover wel discussie plaatsvindt.
