lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would also like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Seeber, for his ongoing and tireless work to improve the management and efficiency of water resources in the European Union and beyond, and to thank him for recognising that water remains a public good and that access to water should constitute a fundamental and universal right. In the same vein, I thank him for encouraging local authorities to devote a proportion of the tariffs collected from the supply of water to water-related decentralised cooperation measures, and for the example of the ‘1% solidarity for water’ principle which has already been adopted by some Member States. I also welcome his call for the Commission to table a directive on water shortages, droughts and adapting to climate change. I would like the Commissioner, who is with us here today, to respond to the question of when he is going to table that directive on drought, in the same way as the existing directive on floods. I also thank the rapporteur for his insistence on improving efficiency in the use of water resources, given that over 20% continues to be lost in many of the EU’s urban areas. Furthermore, I would also like to thank him for his insistence on the potential for the creation of ‘green jobs’, and I believe it would be great news if the European Union could quantify how many green jobs could be involved in the management of water resources and improvements in efficiency. However, I also share my concern, given that paragraph 11 mentions artificially recharging groundwater reservoirs, paragraph 25 points out all water-dependent economic activities, and paragraph 35 refers to hydrotechnical infrastructure. Do not be swayed by siren songs, Mr Seeber."@en1
