"The Jordan River, and the Lower Jordan River area in particular, is a cultural landscape of universal significance, with great historical, religious and environmental importance. Unfortunately, it has been devastated by overexploitation, pollution, and mismanagement of its flow, leading to a 50% loss in biodiversity. The rehabilitation of the Jordan River, and the Lower Jordan River area in particular, is of the greatest importance for the Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian local communities facing similar water challenges.
It also offers tremendous economic and mutual trust-building benefits. The existence of active cooperation between governments, civil society organisations and local communities concerned can make a major contribution to regional peace-building efforts. Therefore, we call on the authorities of the affected countries to cooperate and rehabilitate the Jordan River by drawing up and implementing policies which focus on achieving tangible results in the areas of domestic and agricultural water-demand management, and water- and natural-resource conservation. We also call on the Council, the Commission and EU Member States to encourage and support a comprehensive plan to rectify the devastation of the Jordan River."@en1
