lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the importance of this issue and its aspect relating to development would have justified the involvement of the European Parliament’s Committee on Development in preparing this debate. A shared resource and the target of the seventh Millennium Development Goal, water is either too scarce, too polluted or often both. Securing water should be considered a strategic priority in all political moves within all of the European Union’s partnerships with developing countries. Indeed, since water is an essential shared resource for the survival of humankind, treating it as a simple commodity is out of the question. That is why it seems wise to provide safeguards to prevent any breach of this principle. I do not believe that the activity of an entrepreneur who contributes towards building water supply and sanitation infrastructures or a plumber having to repair a leak – all from the private sector – represents a breach of this principle. What we must do is ensure that individual interests do not take precedence over the general interest."@en1
