The new directive tackles water leakages as now on average 23% of the treated water is lost during distribution in the EU. The directive also includes new provisions that require Member States to improve and maintain access to drinking water for all, and for vulnerable and marginalised groups in particular.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Member States had the obligation to transpose these new EU provisions into their national systems by 12 January 2023,<\/strong> and to communicate their national transposition measures to the Commission.

Lead is one of the ten substances restricted under this Directive. The application covered by the exemption concerns lead in a superconductor material for cables and wires, as well as lead in electrical connections to these wires. These components can help create electromagnetic circuits for medical devices or monitoring instruments (e.g., magnetic resonance devices (MRI)). The addition of lead provides technical and functional advantages such as stronger magnetic fields. Therefore, the Commission decided to grant an exemption of the lead use in these specific cases, which is otherwise forbidden in such applications. However, <strong>the exemption had to be transposed by the Member States before the deadline set for 28 February 2023<\/strong> in order to become effective and to ensure a level playing field on the Union market. An expire date for the exemption of 30 June 2027 is foreseen. To date, Belgium, Czechia, Spain, Latvia, Malta, Portugal and Slovakia failed to notify national measures fully transposing the Directive by the set deadline and will therefore receive a letter of formal notice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Lead in certain magnetic resonance imaging devices: exemption for its use<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 22 September 2022, time-limited exemption from the substance restriction was granted with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A32022L1632&amp;qid=1678732211265\">Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2022\/1632<\/a>. The application covered by the respective exemptions concerns lead in components which are used in magnetic fields for certain medical imaging devices. During the technical evaluation, it was concluded that the scope of the existing exemption can be further limited, so that only components for certain magnetic resonance devices can benefit from the exemption, for which no other alternative exists. This mainly concerns old models and helps to reduce the amount of lead placed on the market. The Delegated Directive adapts the exemption accordingly. <strong>The exemption had to be transposed by the Member States by 28 February 2023<\/strong> and an expire date of 30 June 2027 is foreseen.
