"Despite the international community’s efforts in recent decades, the figures which illustrate the global situation regarding the use and quality of water describe a scenario that is still unacceptable, both from a health and from an ethical point of view. According to the latest data, more than 800 million people drink from unsafe sources and no less than 2.5 million children die each year due to poor water supply and quality. These figures require us to take a clear stand. For this reason, I think it is vital that at the next World Water Forum to be held in Marseille from 12 to 17 March, the European Union come up with a strong common vision where the issues that the EU has long has at the top of its agenda are clearly outlined, namely the protection of water resources and better water use efficiency (and consequently a reduction in wastage)."@en1
