"As you are aware, I was spokesperson for the European Parliament at the World Water Forum, held in Marseille, in March 2012, and I witnessed how much is expected of the European Union around the world with respect to water issues. With this text on the challenges facing the European Union in the field of water, we are backing an ambitious and comprehensive policy, which aims to 1. reduce water wastage, which is a real priority; 2. encourage infrastructure investment in order to address the problem of leaks in the water system; 3. ensure that pricing schemes are transparent and based on the ‘polluter pays’ and ‘user pays’ principles. In November 2012, the European Commission will also publish its proposals for improving water management in Europe. For me, these issues of water access are very important. I have therefore decided to get involved at all levels: 1. at local level as municipal councillor; 2. at national level as co-president of the
(French Water Circle); 3. at European level as a Member of the Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety; and 4. at worldwide level having been elected governor of the World Water Council in Doha, last week."@en1
