lpv:translated text	". The issue of water services will not be raised at the WTO meeting in Cancun. This is unfortunate. The Lannoye report dissects the Commission proposal, which, in particular, aims to create a European Water Fund for ACP countries. These countries, we must remember, are key commercial partners. They are equally affected by a cruel lack of access to drinking water and purification services. Now, access to water is a right, as is the ability of the inhabitants of the rural areas of our Member States to have access to basic public services such as post offices, education and clinics. This is why access to water should remain a public service and not be managed on a strictly commercial basis. The 1980s saw the failure of IMF and World Bank subsidies policies. Only the countries that privatised their water and electricity distribution networks benefited from aid from international institutions. The Commission is preparing to make the same management mistake with the European Water Fund. I support the Lannoye report in its critical diagnosis of the Commission’s programme."@en1
