"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is commendable that the European Union has adopted strict legislation to protect our valuable water resources, but it must be added that virtually no Member State will be able to meet these targets by 2015. The report itself explains that this is a global issue that must be addressed locally, or we might say regionally. I, for one, would like to draw attention to a region that is very important in respect of water management, namely, the Carpathian Basin with its organic water management system that was formed over centuries and would be perfectly capable of meeting current European challenges. This form of water management in the Carpathian Basin was unfortunately ended by the peace dictates of the Treaty of Trianon; now, in the European Union, there would perhaps be a chance to once again rationalise and revive the basin’s water management system. After all, Hungary is an important catchment area to which its rivers transport approximately 114 cubic kilometres of water; however, we are not always able to optimally guarantee the quality of the water that enters the country from Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine or Austria, and this is not due to reasons on Hungary’s part. I therefore ask both the European Commission and the European Parliament to keep a watchful eye on Hungary and aid us in this endeavour."@en1
