What they argued
Water Europe (WE) welcomes the EU Commission evaluation of the public procurement and procurement by entities operating in the water sector. Public procurement, accounting for nearly 14% of the EUs GDP and a significant channel for EU Structural & Investment Funds, is uniquely positioned to drive this transformation.
Water Europe (WE) welcomes the EU Commissions efforts to simplify the Taxonomy framework. However, simplification must not weaken the data foundations that enable evidence-based decision-making, financial transparency, and the mobilisation of private capital for Europes water resilience.
Water Europe (WE) is the voice and promoter of water-related innovation and RTD in Europe. WE is a multi-stakeholder association representing over 250 members from academia, industry, technology providers, water users, water service providers, civil society, and public authorities. WE activities and positions are guided by its Water Vision The Value of Water: Towards a Future-Proof European Water-Smart Society.
It its Water Vision, Water Europe (WE) has set out a blueprint for a society in which the true value of water is recognized and realized, and all available water sources are managed in such a way that water scarcity and pollution of water are avoided, water and resource loops are largely closed to foster a circular economy and optimal resource efficiency, while the water system is resilient against the impact of…
Water Europe welcomes the European Commissions objective to accelerate the transition towards a circular and bio-based economy through industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing. This transition will contribute significantly to Europes resilience and competitiveness. However, these objectives should not be pursued at the expense of the EU water acquis or the objectives of the European Water Resilience Strategy.
Water Europe (WE) supports the European Commissions evaluation of the EU Chips Act 2.0. Given the strategic role of semiconductors in Europes digitalisation, energy transition and industrial competitiveness, the revision of the Chips Act offers a unique opportunity to address all critical enablers of chip manufacturing.
Water Europe welcomes the Commissions initiative to establish a comprehensive framework for climate resilience and risk management. Climate change is increasingly exposing Europe to droughts, floods, and water quality deterioration, which pose systemic risks to food security, energy systems, industrial competitiveness, ecosystems, and human health.
Water Europe (WE) welcomes the impact assessment which fits with our vision to achieve a Water-Smart Society. There is a strong need to update the UWWTD to address today’s challenges in line with the Green Deal and the digitalisation of Europe.
Water Europe welcomes the European Commission's initiative to develop an EU Ocean and Water Research & Innovation Strategy. Europe possesses world-class scientific excellence in water research, but too many innovative solutions remain confined to research projects and pilot demonstrations.
Water Europe welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a Digital Action Plan for the water sector as a flagship deliverable of the European Water Resilience Strategy. Digitalisation has the potential to transform water management by improving the management of both water quantity and quality, reducing leakages, strengthening resilience to droughts, floods and pollution events, and supporting a more…
Water Europe highlights that the European Directive 2008/114/EC on protection of critical infrastructures has not included the water supply sector as a critical infrastructure, although Member States recognise that the water industry is vital to the overall EU and national security, essential to any other economic sector and social functions.
