To allow Europeans to make an informed choice on which beach to choose, the Commission publishes a yearly report on the quality of coastal and freshwater bathing areas as reported by Member States for the beaches located within their territory.
Selleks et eurooplased saaksid põhjendatult otsustada, millist randa valida, avaldab komisjon igal aastal ranniku- ja siseveekoguäärsete supelrandade vee kvaliteedi kohta aruande, mis põhineb liikmesriikide aruannetel nende territooriumil asuvate supelrandade kohta.
