".
The report before us presents an assessment of the situation that it is condemning – for example that the number of people living below the poverty line continues to rise and that the fight against poverty requires a radical change of policy in order to combat the structural causes of poverty, such as the unaffordable debt payments by developing countries and unfair distribution of wealth. Yet it also reveals its ‘limitations’ by not proposing any measures effectively to combat the causes that it highlights, by accepting the liberalisation of world trade and by failing to call for unconditional debt relief for all developing countries, as proposed in the amendment that we tabled and that was rejected.
It does contain a number of positive elements, however, such as the need for water-related services to remain under public control as a matter of principle, in other words adopting the amendment that we tabled, which reaffirms that water is a shared resource of humankind and that access to water is a fundamental human right that should be promoted and safeguarded."@en1
