The EU Commission must stop dictating to EU
countries what they should do with water services for their citizens.
That’s the warning from the Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan. Ms Boylan led a vote
through the European Parliament this week that saw the majority of MEPs demand the
EU follow up on a European Citizens’ Initiative called the Right2Water. The
initiative saw almost two million people sign a petition demanding the EU
introduce laws that would make access to water and sanitation a basic human
right. Lynn Boylan says the vote sends a clear message to the EU Commission not
to interfere in national water issues.
