"Water is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which could lead to a decline in the quantity and quality of available water – particularly drinking water – as well as to a rise in the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts.
European and global freshwater resources are at risk if we manage them beyond the boundaries of sustainability: urbanisation, population growth, over consumption, biological and chemical pollution, hydromorphological alterations and climate change are putting ever increasing pressure on the availability and quality of safe and secure water. We must therefore recognise that water is a shared resource of humankind and a public good and that access to water should constitute a fundamental and universal right. This vote incentivises the sustainable use of water, an environmental and health necessity. It is thus necessary to adapt internal market rules to the distinctive characteristics of the water sector."@en1
