"With this resolution, which I fully support, we are proposing several measures to protect the quality of water in Europe and ensure its rational use. The recurring problem of the proliferation of green algae, which we experience in Brittany for example, is proof that we must take action along these lines. The resolution focuses, in particular, on the use of incentive schemes such as the application of the ‘polluter pays’ and ‘user pays’ principles and the implementation of transparent and effective pricing schemes that would internalise both wastewater treatment and environmental costs. It is important to remember, however, that this must not result in ill-considered increases in water prices. The text also mentions proposals with respect to shale gas exploration and extraction, which is a problem that particularly concerns France given that it has large quantities of the resource underground. With this in mind, we are calling for the Commission to undertake research assessing the negative impact of the extraction of this type of gas on groundwater quality."@en1
