Text tabled : A6-0362/2008

  Luca Romagnoli (NI), in writing. − (IT) I voted in favour of the Seeber report, which addresses the serious problem of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union.

Water is a finite resource. Safeguarding our ecosystems, water resources, drinking and bathing water is the key to protecting the environment. That is why joint action at European level will ensure that we manage this precious resource in the best possible way.

Furthermore, I would like to compliment Mr Seeber on his work. He has drawn attention to the main issues that the Union should confront: extensive water consumption and the resulting wastage of water, ignorance and a lack of awareness of the problem, as well as the absence of a common European approach.
