"Madam President, the Directive on the protection of groundwater from pollution and deterioration is a necessary document. It will have a positive effect on access to drinking water and water used in farming and industry, of which there is a shortage in many regions within the European Union.
Water is an economic and humanitarian matter in these regions. Water shortages and the poor quality of the water available mean that it often needs to be delivered to holdings, where people work and live, from places ranging from a few to more than a dozen kilometres away.
The Directive does not restrict the implementation of national policies, which take into account the specific circumstances of individual countries. It is a document which represents a compromise between our wishes and reality. In its approved form, it is a document that is worth adopting. I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Klaβ, for her work. The UEN Group will support the jointly approved text of the Directive."@en1
