"Mr President, the Water Framework Directive has set ambitious goals, goals for reducing pollution, goals for improving the water environment and goals for promoting better use of water.
I am pleased the rapporteur has addressed the issue of leaks in his report. 20% of water in the EU is lost due to inefficiency. In my constituency of London, this rises to over 25%. Until recently, in fact, my constituents have been forced to suffer a hosepipe ban during what has been, even for London, a particularly wet summer. These bans are bad for business and are putting local people’s jobs at risk. It is our job as policy makers to ensure our constituents have access to clean, safe water at a fair price."@en1
