"Water is a precious and unique resource, which is vital for the very existence of life: it is therefore clear that it is advisable to take a joint European approach to the protection and defence of this asset. Firstly, in the knowledge that this is a resource that is scarce, we need to endeavour to ensure that its use is optimised and wastage is reduced as far as possible: it is not acceptable, for example, for an obsolete transport and distribution system to lead to the waste of enormous quantities of water. In Tuscany this spring, there was a serious drought: unfortunately, droughts have been experienced many times in recent years, and are primarily caused by mismanagement of the water network. The report also stresses the importance of water reuse and recycling, and the need to ensure that pollution does not compromise water quality, and thus the ecosystem as a whole. Unfortunately, there are still many cases today of negligence and inexperience, which might lead to the complete destruction of natural areas: Massaciuccoli Lake is a dramatic example of this, since its valuable habitat is in serious danger, as the Commission itself emphasised to me in reply to a recent question I put to it."@en1
