"Many developing countries do not have basic sanitation-infrastructure systems that enable the effective management of water resources, which are a key prerequisite for reducing poverty. It should be noted that over 800 million people use unsafe water sources every year, leading to the death of approximately 2.5 million children. In view of this, I am voting for this report, as it is necessary to ensure that access to water is a fundamental and universal right; it should not be a source of profit, but rather should help to improve people’s quality of life. I therefore believe that public and private organisations should increasingly invest financial resources in research into and development of innovative technologies for water in all fields, encouraging the use of new technologies in agriculture, to produce sufficient and safe food. I believe that it is vital for the Member States to reinforce their commitment to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, and also to take into account the relevant outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development."@en1
