| Motion for a resolution | Amendment1a Higher private investment, the less public control (over water resources, supply, infrastructure), i.e. the less resilience. Public control ensures transparency and prevents restrictions on legislative action. Both “cross-border” and “private investment” are “market elements” and therefore pose a high risk of water liberalization and creation of an internal water market. Markets prioritize profit over equitable access, while EU competition rules may unintentionally enforce market principles on water. |
