00:01A third of the EU is affected by water scarcity

00:17Water pollution and wastewater are also major concerns

00:21Which are being addressed at this water purifying unit

00:25Climate change and high demand of water

00:28For economic use require investment

00:31And better implementation of legislation

00:33To try and address all the above

00:35The European Commission has released a new water resilience strategy

00:40Let's find out more on EU Decoded

00:42Only 37% of the EU's surface waters have a good ecological status

00:48And only 29% have a good chemical status

00:51The continent is the fastest warming region in the world

00:54Due to climate change

00:55Which has increased the number of water related natural disasters

00:59Currently, 30% of the EU suffers from water scarcity

01:03Due to prolonged droughts

01:05Meanwhile, devastating floods cost 325 billion euros

01:10In damage between 1980 and 2023

01:12The European Water Resilience Strategy aims to reduce water pollution

01:17Prevent waste and make water accessible to all

01:21With this strategy, the European Commission promises to help member states

01:25Better implement the 2000 Water Framework Directive and 3 related laws

01:32Let's hear what Europeans think about the public management of this precious common good

01:37The day of the EU can work very much

01:41When we are concerned about the consumption

01:43Every year we can say that we can say that from one or two winter

01:47If it doesn't exist these

01:50We will certainly face problems

01:52And there is a lot of possibility that we are falling in the middle of our business

01:55Yo espero que mis hijos tengan suficiente agua potable y agua dulce para poder vivir.

02:04Creo que tiene que ver con el nivel de polución y más, quizás,

02:08gerir la polución que existe en agua y hablar también con las personas que tratan de agua con estas empresas.

02:15Euronews reporter Amandine S. will help us decode this issue.

02:20Una de las principales temas que la Comisión quiere abordar es la polución de agua,

02:26particularmente con los químicos llamados PIFAS, o forever pollutants.

02:30¿Qué está en cuenta?

02:31PIFAS son substances llamados forever pollutants porque no se desplazan fácilmente,

02:36se tendrán acumulados en el ambiente.

02:39Y el problema es que la investigación ha demostrado que la exposición a ciertos tipos de PIFAS

02:45causan problemas de salud.

02:47La Comisión está planeando lanzar un pacto público-private para apoyar innovación

02:53para limpiar la polución de PIFAS y otros químicos.

02:57La política principal será aplicada,

03:00así que significa que la publicación de funding será utilizada

03:03solo para los sitios donde no ha sido posible

03:05para identificar quién es responsable de la polución.

03:08La industria y la agricultura son dos sectores

03:11que usan mucho agua fresca,

03:13y también contribuyen a la polución con químicos.

03:17Así que la estrategia abordará esos problemas?

03:21Cuando se trata de la cantidad de agua,

03:23la Comisión está llamando a los Estados Unidos

03:25para mejorar la eficiencia de al menos 10% por 2030.

03:29Así que, por ejemplo, en la agricultura sector,

03:31agua eficiencia puede ser mejorado

03:33por precisión de farming,

03:35drip irrigation,

03:36agua reúne,

03:37o por usar más climáticos resistentes,

03:41según la estrategia.

03:42Y cuando se trata de la industria,

03:44la Comisión está, por ejemplo,

03:46a la agua consumación de los datos,

03:48y también está planeando lanzar otra

03:51public-private partnership

03:52para desarrollar un método de innovación

03:55para la dry-cooling.

03:57La industria y Europa del Green Party

03:59dice que esta estrategia

04:01es far from giving concreto answers

04:03a los problemas.

04:05¿Qué están suggeriendo que se ha hecho?

04:07Es importante tener en cuenta

04:09que los gobiernos y algunos NGOs

04:11critican esta estrategia

04:13por debajo de claras necesidades

04:14necesarias,

04:15ya que es no binding,

04:17y por no proporcionar

04:18dedicado financiamiento.

04:19Así que es un punto.

04:20Segundo,

04:21están estrellando

04:22que la industria falla

04:23a la solución a la source.

04:25Así que están llamando

04:26a la gestión de la gestión

04:27de fertilizas y los químicos.

04:29According a la Comisión,

04:31alrededor de 55 billones euros

04:33se han gastado

04:34en inversiones de agua

04:35en Europa,

04:36pero hay una ganada

04:37de 23 billones euros

04:39para resolver los problemas.

04:40To address this gap,

04:42the EU's executive

04:43will allocate

04:44a larger share

04:45of the cohesion funds,

04:46which are intended

04:47for less wealthy regions,

04:49to water management.

04:50In addition,

04:51the European Investment Bank

04:52will launch a new program.

04:5415 billion euros

04:55will be available

04:56over the period

04:57between 2025 and 2027,

05:00and it aims to attract

05:01a further 25 billion euros

05:03from commercial investors.

05:06Our guest is Hildegard Bentele

05:08from Centre-Right EPP Group,

05:10who shares the MEP Water Group

05:13at the European Parliament.

05:14Welcome to EuroNews.

05:15One of the few concrete aspects

05:18of the European Water Resilience Strategy

05:21is increasing investment

05:24through the cohesion funds

05:26and the European Investment Bank.

05:28Will that money be enough?

05:30Well, we'll see,

05:31because the negotiations

05:32for the budget

05:33have just started,

05:35so it's important

05:36to have the priorities here.

05:37And everybody knows

05:39about the emergency

05:40and about the needs

05:43of investment into the sector.

05:45We have the figures,

05:46so we can react with the budget

05:48and better use,

05:49as you said,

05:50the cohesion policy,

05:51because we have seen

05:52that funds have not been used

05:55even for investment,

05:57so we have to think about it.

05:58The European Commission

05:59proposes voluntary targets

06:01to improve water efficiency

06:03by 10% by 2030,

06:06but there is not a roadmap

06:08or an implementation mechanism

06:10foreseen,

06:11so isn't this just good intentions?

06:14It is a good intention

06:15and it's also,

06:16I would say,

06:17a little bit modest

06:18because 10% is not a lot,

06:20but at least it's on the agenda.

06:22And I think we can do more also,

06:24for example,

06:25through public procurement.

06:27If we prescribe

06:28that water-efficient technologies

06:30have to be used,

06:31we have to take it serious

06:33because the cheapest way

06:35to save money

06:37is to become more efficient.

06:39But first of all,

06:40we have to become more transparent

06:41because people don't know

06:42how much water they waste,

06:44how much water they use

06:45in their households.

06:46It should also

06:47more concrete measures

06:49be foreseen

06:50and even sanctions

06:51for less proactive member states

06:54in terms of preventing

06:56and recovering

06:57from water-related disasters,

07:00whether droughts

07:01or floods.

07:03We have, for example,

07:04the Water Framework Directive

07:06and this is legislation.

07:07If you do not comply

07:08with legislation,

07:09we could sanction there

07:10because if member states

07:11don't meet the targets

07:12of legislation,

07:13they should be sanctioned.

07:14And we have a backlog.

07:16We haven't seen a lot of progress

07:18in the last 20 years,

07:19so we have to become faster.

07:21And I would also see

07:23that the commission

07:24is getting more rigid on that

07:25in the coming years,

07:26also with the strategy.

07:28The European Commission is focusing

07:30on improving infrastructure

07:32and technological innovation,

07:34but environmentalists say

07:36that we need to protect nature more.

07:38They suggest that water management

07:40should include protection

07:42of moors and wetlands,

07:44as well as reducing the use

07:46of fertilizers and pesticides.

07:48You Decoded will continue to follow

07:51water protection efforts in Europe.

07:53Stay tuned.
