Dear Director-General

I have been asked by my authorities to provide for your information a copy of
Phosphorous Regulations National Implementation Report, 2001.

This publication outlines the action being taken by Ireland to halt and reverse the
deterioration of water quality in rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal areas due to
pollution caused by phosphorus. The implementation of the Phosphorus
Regulations gives further effect to the Dangerous Substances Directive
(76/464/EEC) and the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). The
Phosphorous Regulations National Implementation Report, 2001 is the second
report produced by the Environmental Protection Agency on the implementation
of the Phosphorus Regulations and is prepared under Article 4(4) of the
Regulations.

Yours sincerely,
