Summary

This own-initiative report addresses access to water as a human right in its external dimension. The amendments reaffirm access to drinking water and sanitation as a fundamental right and global public good, link water stress to climate change, dams, biofuel crops, deforestation and pollution, and call for a rights-based approach in the EU's external action consistent with the Water Action Decade and Sustainable Development Goal 6.

1 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
