"Water is the most important of all public goods for human life. However, European and global freshwater resources are at risk: urbanisation, population growth, over consumption, biological and chemical pollution and hydromorphological alterations are putting increasing pressure on the availability and quality of safe and secure water. Although the existing water legislation provides a robust framework for efficient water management, the rate of implementation of the legislation in Member States has been slow and the results differ greatly from region to region. In this context, I believe that Parliament must make an active contribution to the process leading to the establishment of the future direction of European water policy. Decisive action at EU level is needed to address current and future water challenges faced by our continent. I therefore call upon the Commission to make sufficient funding available to research projects for rainwater systems, metering technologies, methods to monitor and remove sources of pollution and chemical and biological pollutants, as well as technologies for water saving and efficiency in urban and rural areas."@en1
