  • “The value of water remains too often under the radar, and this situation locks the hidden potential of this sector such as the valorisation and reuse of waste  water”
    – MEP Pernille Weiss

MEP Water Group 2019-2024

The MEP Water Group is the focal point for the water topic in the European Parliament. It is a forum that aims to raise the profile of water as a cross-cutting topic in EU decision-making and make sure that Europe’s water resources are managed in a sustainable way to the benefit of the European economy and society as a whole, fostering the value of water and a water-smart society in Europe.

The MEP Water Group listens to the concerns and priorities of the water sector, as reflected at a European level. It is an effective driver for placing water higher on the European political agenda and shaping the future EU Water policy.

Lead by MEP Pernille Weiss, the MEP Water Group wants to play a key role in contributing to the future of the EU water policy by:

 Raising the importance of water for the European Union and beyond

Making sure that Europe’s water resources are managed in a sustainable and equitable way to the benefit of the European society and economy

Encourage technological and non-technological innovations and research to tackle water-related challenges

Promoting to assure clean water and sanitation for all in order to reach the SDG 6
