lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the issue of access to water and sanitation is an essential issue in my view, essential in our view. That is why I was especially pleased to be involved in preparing a resolution on the issues from the World Water Forum with my colleague Mr Seeber. Indeed, when we talk about water we are actually talking about the health and living conditions of billions of human beings. I have just returned from a remote region of Burkina Faso where there is no running water or electricity. I lived with the population, with standing water. There, I experienced the difficulties they encounter, the worry and the sickness among children. I am therefore pleased to learn that the first of the UN Millennium Development Goals has been achieved before the deadline set for 2015. In 2010, the proportion of the population without access to water had fallen by half since 1990. I want to say to you: ‘What good news!’ However, this is also a real call to action. This success is a sign that we must never give up and that action does bear fruit. I am therefore pleased with this resolution and I have taken three main ideas from it in particular. Firstly, as I have just said, we must put everything in place in order to achieve all of the UN Millennium Development Goals, particularly with regard to the problem of sanitation. Secondly, we must ensure water management through drainage basins and deal with the problems of source pollution upstream rather than downstream. Finally, I would like to mention the idea of 1% solidarity for water, a principle that has been applied in France allowing for fundraising to improve access to water. I spoke about this just a moment ago, with regard to Burkina Faso for example."@en1
