"Water is a natural asset, and in the future it may be that the strength of a country will be measured in terms of the amount of water it possesses. Resources of freshwater are limited, and today there are already a great many people who do not have adequate access to it – and water is, of course, essential both for the life and growth of any society. The European Union should therefore make every effort to ensure that the ‘Blueprint to safeguard Europe’s water resources’ will be as effective as possible. A policy for the judicious management of these resources is the key to the continent’s sustainable development and food security. Investment in new technologies for abstracting and reclaiming water are also investments in peace in different parts of the world, because water may, unfortunately, prove to be yet another resource which causes the outbreak of war. It is equally important to include the issues of saving water and care for water resources in the standard educational curriculum of European citizens from their earliest years. The European Union should not, therefore, economise on this matter, and should support all investments and initiatives intended to ensure that we have sufficient water."@en1
