On the 26th of October, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) called on the European Commission to address water as a priority at European scale, emphasizing the need for a common EU approach to water. Water Europe welcomes the EESC’s call for an EU Blue Deal and has already published specific recommendations that pave the way towards a Water-Smart Strategy.
‘The EU Blue Deal needs to be filled with life by a Water-Smart Society- we will all have to contribute to it’ said Paul Rübig, member of the EESC during the conference. With this in mind, it is now more important than ever to ask ourselves: What does the Water-Smart Society mean and what is the way forward to realise it? You can read here Water Europe’s recommendations on the EU Blue Deal.
