Abstract		The Bathing Water Directive (76/160/EEC) is one of the oldest pieces of environmental legislation in Europe, which was fully and accurately transposedinto the Slovenian legislation in 2003. Its implementation is sharedbetween the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of defence. Slovenia has identified 37 bathing waters to ensure that water quality standards are met there to protectpublic health and amenity. In the end of 2004, Slovenia has reported the results of the bathing water quality for the first time to the European Commission, who annually published the report with quality assessments. According to that report for bathing season 2006, the average bathing quality in coastal areas is high, but in the freshwater zones room for improvement exists. It must be remembered that the Member States which have been monitoring their bathing water quality for years did not achieve the good results reported now until several years after they introduced the inspectionsrequired by the national legislation implementing bathing water directive.
Summary		V postopku pristopnih pogajanj z EU je bila leta 2003 v slovenski pravni red vključena tudi Direktiva o kopalnih vodah (76/160/EEC), pri čemer si pristojnost delijo Ministrstvo za okolje in prostor, Ministrstvo za zdravje ter Ministrstvo za obrambo. Na osnovi te direktive je Slovenija določila 37 naravnih kopalnih voda, kjer se redno spremlja kakovost kopalne vode, da bi zaščitili zdravje kopalcev. Rezultate kakovosti slovenskih naravnih kopalnih voda so konec leta 2004 prvič poslali tudi Evropski komisiji, ki letno objavlja poročilo o kakovosti kopalnih voda v Evropski skupnosti in v vsaki državi članici. Po poročilu za leto 2006 možnosti za izboljšanje kakovosti slovenskih celinskih kopalnih voda zanesljivo še obstajajo. Glede popolne skladnostji kopalnih voda na morju s predpisi pa Slovenija sega v sam evropskivrh. Take skladnosti z zahtevami direktive ne dosegajo stare države članice Evropske skupnosti, čeprav tam direktiva velja že od leta 1976 dalje in so že bili izvedeni številni ukrepi za izboljšanje kakovosti kopalne vode.
