An important aspect of European bathing water legislation is the involvement of all stakeholders around a water body, including the public. European legislation has thus also integrated the practices of the Blue Flag programme, started in 1985 by a non-governmental organisation. The programme seeks to implement various environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria at bathing waters (EEA, 2016b). While the majority of Blue Flags have been awarded to coastal bathing sites, the number of blue flags on inland bathing waters, including in cities, is increasing.

Perhaps for the blue flag should be pointed out which is recognised at the specific request of the competent bathing water authority.
We have rephrased the paragraph in line with the comment.
