European Economic and Social Committee, European Parliament and European Committee of Regions representatives urge the Commission not to delay the Water Resilience Initiative
Pernille Weiss, Chairman of the MEP Water Group, co-signed with Pietro Francesco De Lotto, from the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and André Viola, member of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) an open letter to Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, asking the Commission to adopt a comprehensive approach to water and reiterating their call for an EU Blue Deal.
”Water is the essential and silent enabler for the green transition. It is crucial – yet too often forgotten. On top of this, our water resources are under huge pressure and the challenges we face will not wait. We therefore need to act urgently and holistically to foster a water-smart economy. We call on the European Commission to publish the Water Resilience Initiative without delay and adopt a European Blue Deal for its upcoming term. This will give the much‑needed policy focus that water deserves for a well‑functioning and sustainable society.” said Pernille Weiss, Chair of the MEP Water Group.
