lpv:translated text	"Any EU analysis of the use of dams as a means of producing electricity should take into account the overall context in which this occurs. Therefore, first and foremost, the overall situation concerning the fragility of the environmental system, which has led to an exponential increase in natural disasters, must not be discounted. In this context, water shortages resulting from access problems represent a prime danger to sustainable development. However, we must not disregard the severe environmental impact caused by ‘large dams’, or their effects on local populations: it is estimated that some 40-80 million people have been displaced for this reason. As such, the EU’s efforts should be towards promoting the use of means of energy production that, without sacrificing the energy needed, have less of an environmental impact: we should not just be thinking about using renewable energy sources, but also about opting for small dams instead of large constructions. Since that is the report’s argument, I voted in favour."@en1
