Mr President, the situation regarding fresh water in Europe is not as serious as in other parts of the world but, in general terms, it is a fact that the demand for water has continued to grow and its quality has continued to decrease.
Hr. formand, ferskvandssituationen i Europa er ikke så alvorlig som i andre dele af verden, men generelt set er det en kendsgerning, at efterspørgselen efter vand løbende er steget, og kvaliteten faldet.
