Regarding this report, I wish to point out a fact that I believe is wrong. In the text of the report, agriculture is mentioned in at least ten paragraphs as a major water consumer and, at the same time, as a possible part of the solution through the more efficient use of resources. However, the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development of this Parliament has not had the opportunity to express its point of view by means of an opinion. European farmers are open to discuss the difficulties in this field and implement the solutions needed for improved water management, but their opinions must be heard and taken into account. Agriculture is indeed a major water consumer, but it uses water to provide consumers with sufficient and quality food.
