+40% compared to 1992. Increases to date in individual member states include +27% <strong>for</strong><br />

Germany, +51% <strong>for</strong> France, +82% UK, +91% <strong>for</strong> Spain <strong>and</strong> +95% <strong>for</strong> Portugal. It has been<br />

concluded that by the implementation deadline, the capacity of the treatment plants would be<br />

sufficient to treat the total projected combined organic load <strong>for</strong> agglomerations >2000 pe in all<br />

the 14 EU MS (EC, 1999). Indeed, projected final treatment capacity (469 million p.e.) is<br />

approximately 11% greater than the total organic load (424 million p.e.). However, distribution<br />

of treatment capacity will not necessarily be homogenous. For example, projected treatment<br />

capacity post-implementation exceeds 1992 baseline organic loads by +28% in the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s,<br />

+35% in Germany <strong>and</strong> +74% in Sweden. Treatment capacity in Italy is <strong>for</strong>ecast to increase by<br />

73% from a baseline of 59 million p.e. to 102 million p.e. in 2005 (EEWG, 1997).<br />
