"I voted for the report on the implementation of EU water legislation. I think that water is a public asset which is essential for life, and its appropriate management plays a key role in protecting the world’s natural assets and existing ecosystems. Europe currently abstracts around 13% of its total available freshwater, which is already an indication of some water stress. In many places in Europe, water abstraction is going below sustainable levels, threatening wildlife and water supply security for society, while in some regions of southern Europe, the water exploitation index has risen above 40%. The future of industry in Europe depends on finding effective responses to the current water challenges and on managing existing water resources, which directly affect human health, energy production, agriculture and food security, in a responsible, efficient manner. I should point out the link between energy production, energy efficiency and water security. I should stress that strategies need to be adopted at EU level to ensure that the ever increasing demand for energy does not pose a risk to the security and sustainable availability of water."@en1
