"Madam President, Mr Seeber’s excellent report proves that the European Union is much farther ahead in terms of energy efficiency than in water saving, and I therefore recommend Commissioner Potočnik to consider the following: if we have energy performance certificates for buildings, why not introduce water management certificates as well? After all, wasteful water use is an extremely widespread issue. This is something that should be given consideration.
We should provide cohesion policy funding to allow for the financing of refurbishments aimed at more efficient water use. It is a good thing that we are financing the establishment of irrigation systems under the common agricultural policy. This possibility should be available not just to the new Member States but to the old ones as well, and I suggest that we encourage water recycling in agriculture through separate subsidies. Israel’s water recycling rate is 75%, whereas in Europe, Cyprus and Spain are only able to recycle 25% of their water."@en1
