"I welcome the European Parliament’s initiative in addressing this important issue. Improving dam infrastructure in developing countries is necessary to address climate change consequences and to achieve development goals. It not only helps in managing flood risks and in providing better access to fresh-water resources, but also may provide for hydropower generation capacity. I believe a good impact can be achieved through micro-projects for hydropower dams, requiring small investment and rather basic technologies. Micro-investment may have a big positive effect for the most vulnerable communities in remote areas. As regards the large-scale projects, the EU assistance should be provided only for those which underwent thorough impact assessment, taking into account all environmental and societal consequences. The EU should work with the relevant organisations and partner countries so the dam infrastructure is developed in an environmentally sound way. Having said all that, it is important to ensure the visibility of the EU assistance provided to the relevant projects."@en1
