Durante l’indagine in corso sul problema del ritardo nei pagamenti la Commissione ha rilevato in proposito cifre che mostrano che tale ritardo si è prodotto nel 22% dei casi nel 2008. La Commissione ha pure annunciato nuove misure al fine di migliorare la situazione quali l’aumento del ricorso a pagamenti forfettari. I contributi alla consultazione (che non rappresenta in nessun modo possibilità di risoluzione di casi individuali che devono essere sottoposti al Mediatore nei modi previsti) potranno pervenire fino alla data del 31 marzo 2010 in una qualsiasi delle lingue ufficiali.

Several technologies are already available, which allow efficient wastewater treatment and re-use without hygienic risks on a low-cost and easy-to-handle level. These include sanitation systems with low water consumption, separation of grey- and blackwater, biological treatment of grey water and reuse for non-drinking purposes (e.g. irrigation), bio-membrane reactors for intensive treatment, constructed wetlands for extensive treatment, sludge-hygienisation for re-use as fertiliser. These wastewater technologies to be applied to MEDA areas of the southern Mediterranean and Middle East countries. Promotion and focussing of current research activities of Membrane Technology in Water Treatment / PROMEMBRANE, FP6-2002-INCO-MPC-SSA-2 The primary objective of PROMEMBRANE is to support the current research and development activities in membrane technology focussed on water treatment in the Mediterranean area, providing an international stage to local research organisations and universities devoted to the development of membrane technologies in the following areas: municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, surface water purification and brackish and sea water treatment for drinking purpose. The ending results of the action should be: diffusion and dissemination of successful experiences and research activities being currently carried out, through the organisation of the two regional contests “PROMEMBRANE Young Scientist Award” along the frame of the two regional Fairs in Egypt and Syria and an international conference in Tunisia, encouraging and promoting further research activities in membrane technologies.
