lpv:spoken text	"As the first ever successful ECI, I very much welcome the Right2Water initiative and the important role of the European Citizens’ Initiative in promoting participatory democracy in the EU and helping citizens engage in the European debate. The widespread public support for the initiative shows what an important issue the human right to water and sanitation is and, going forward, this must be properly reflected across all relevant EU policy areas. I am pleased to say that I voted in favour of making universal access to affordable safe water a human right. I asked the Commission to take the demands of citizens more seriously and provide a solution beyond the weak Communication it recently presented on this issue. We are sending a strong message to the Commission that we want the exclusion of water and sanitation from market rules. The Framework Directive for water is the right legal tool to ensure that water and sanitation are included in the EU legislation and in the Charter of Fundamental rights."@en1
