"This report considers water ‘an inalienable public asset which is essential for life’, and takes the view that it is ‘a shared resource of mankind’ and that ‘access to water should constitute a fundamental and universal right’. It also proposes measures to ensure that everyone can use this ‘public and essential asset’ better and more efficiently. At a time when attempts are being made to turn water into an object of commercial profit, this is an important position for Parliament. I therefore voted in favour, as I consider water a human right and a public good. However, I am opposed to an internal market of water technology. I advocate investment and public awareness in the area of water, as well as the effective transfer and sharing of that knowledge with people all over the world. This is a matter of preventing water from being controlled by the few, and making it instead a resource owned by everyone, for everyone. I also believe that it is a resource that should be at the service of the community and the whole planet."@en1
