Directrice générale de l’intercommunale belge Vivaqua et Administratrice déléguée d’Aqua Publica Europea: «Au sein d’Aqua Publica Europea, association qui regroupe les principaux acteurs publics de l’eau européens, je me bats pour que l’eau, bien public, reste entre les mains du public. » Christiane Franck, directeur-generaal van de Belgische intercommunale Vivaqua en gedelegeerd bestuurder van Aqua Publica Europea, steunt de actie 'right2water'. "Binnen Aqua Publica Europea, de Europese vereniging van de openbare wateroperatoren, strijd ik ervoor dat het beheer van het water, als openbaar goed, in handen van de openbare sector blijft".

Austrian State Secretary: "Wasser ist ein Grundbedürfnis. Jeder Mensch soll täglich mindestens drei Liter Wasser trinken. Jeder von uns möchte aber qualitativ hochwertiges Wasser. Das heißt, die Wasserversorgung muss in öffentlicher Hand bleiben. Denn nur dann ist die gewünschte Qualität gesichert, die wir gerade in Österreich so gewöhnt sind. Deshalb bin ich Botschafter der Europäischen BürgerInneninitiative!"

Chairman of the Institute for the Danube region and Central Europe (IDM) in Vienna, Austria. "Water is life. The ecological situation for us will be more and more dependent on water. We have to do a lot to keep this condition of life available for everybody."

Mayor of Ljubljana : »Ljubljana je mesto, ki se lahko pohvali s čisto pitno vodo, in na to smo zelo ponosni. Na mestne ulice smo celo postavili javne pitnike ter tako našim meščanom in obiskovalcem v toplejših mesecih omogočili brezplačno odžejanje. Ker se zavedamo, da je kakovostna voda javno dobro in človekova pravica, ne sme preiti v upravljanje zasebnikom. Zato bomo v Ljubljani zagotovili, da voda ostane dostopna vsem.« "Ljubljana is a city that boasts of having clean drinking water, and this is something we can be proud of. We have even set up drinking fountains on the city streets and thereby enabled our residents and visitors to have a drink free of charge in the warmer months. As we are aware that good-quality drinking water is a public good and a human right we cannot allow it to be privatised. Therefore we in Ljubljana will ensure that water remains accessible to all".

President Social Platform (Germany): "Social Platform is pleased to support the campaign “Water is a human right” as access to affordable public services is a key concern of our members. Moreover, water is not an ordinary commodity: it is a basic requirement, a fundamental human right. Social Platform therefore asks EU decision makers to protect access to water from commercial interests and to promote a rights-based approach."

Member of CDA (Netherlands)

Lord Mayor of Copenhagen (Denmark)

General Secretary European Environmental Bureau (EEB): "Water is indispensable to life. It runs through our cities, our bodies, our valleys, sustaining us and our environment. Water is therefore not a commodity like any other; it is a fundamental human right. The EEB is pleased to support this campaign to ensure that water is seen as a public good and that protecting our water environment prevails over commercial interests."

President of the European Anti-Poverty Network, Belgium. “Everybody has a basic right to clean, safe water at an affordable price. This is a fundamental human right. EAPN members increasingly highlight rising prices and declining standards of water in many countries, as with other key public services, often as result of liberalisation and privatization, without safeguards for guaranteeing social rights and standards. EAPN strongly supports this campaign to safeguard water as a key public good, a cornerstone of a progressive social and sustainable EU, and a key tool in the fight against poverty”

Secrétaire Générale, OBUSSAS – Observatoire des Usagers de l’Assainissement en Ile-de-France: « Alors que l’ONU a reconnu le droit à l’eau et à l’assainissement comme un droit fondamental de l’Homme, il est plus qu’urgent qu’en France comme en Europe le droit à l’eau devienne une réalité pour toutes et tous. »

Mayor of Genoa (Italy)

Chairman OSDLV (Czech Republic): "I want all people to have fair access to water at reasonable prices. I do not want any exorbitant sums to be paid for water after the privatization - as in the Czech Republic - where since the privatization prices has risen enormously due to the greed of multinational companies. All people should have the access to water and to meet their personal needs no matter what their income situation is." "Chci, aby všichni lidé m?li spravedlivý p?ístup k vod? za rozumné ceny. Nechci, aby se za vodu po privatizaci platili nehorázné sumy, jako tomu je v ?eské republice, kdy po privatizaci se neúm?rn? zvedli ceny ohledn? zisk? nadnárodních spole?ností. Všichni lidé by m?li mít šanci si koupit vodu a splnit si své osobní pot?eby bez ohledu na to, jaká je jejich situace.

Executive Director of Stakeholderforum, UK. "I sign for the human right to water and sanitation!"

General Secretary European Public Health Alliance (EPHA), Poland: "Water and sanitation services cannot be treated as an ordinary commodity when they are so essential to life itself. People cannot live without water, children do not grow up healthily. Access to drinking water is a very basic requirement, a fundamental human right. And yet in Europe, water and sanitation services are increasingly privatized, making their access more difficult for people who cannot pay for them"
