"I am in favour. Water is a source of life and not of profit. It is the only essential resource for which there is no substitute. We must therefore do all we can to ensure both the quality and the quantity of water available for each human being and for maintaining ecosystems. Water does not belong to anyone; it is not a commodity but a universal shared resource.
In addition, as my colleague Ms Rivasi said earlier, access to drinking water has been recognised as a fundamental right since 2010, but we must do more. We must constitutionalise this right and promote comprehensive management of water as a global shared resource. In order to do so, we cannot allow private companies to hold the reins of the water market. In France, the delegation of public services has again been called into question and we are seeing an increase in local authorities taking back control of water management, which ecologists are delighted about."@en1
