"I voted for the motion for a resolution on the 6th World Water Forum taking place in Marseille on 12-17 March 2012 because water is a resource shared by humankind which should not be a source of profit but a fundamental, universal right. Water management impacts directly on human health, energy production, agriculture and food security, and efficient water management is a fundamental prerequisite for reducing poverty. I should emphasise the importance of transferring knowledge and technology relating to water conservation, water collection, irrigation techniques, groundwater management and wastewater treatment. Climate change, deforestation, urbanisation, population growth and biological and chemical pollution place ever-increasing pressure on the availability and quality of safe and healthy water resources, as well as causing increased risks of extreme water-related events occurring, with poor populations being affected the most. I urge the Commission to devise policies for mitigating and adapting to climate change, giving due consideration to the impact on water resources."@en1
