The EU needs to streamline its water usage by at least ten percent by 2030.

The goal is launched in a new strategy for water resilience, which was presented by, among others, Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall on Wednesday.

Water is not infinite. We must be aware of it, said Roswall in an interview with TT and other news media on Monday.

Besides more efficient use of water, the strategy is on protecting and restoring access to water and also on getting consumers and industry to take increased responsibility.

However, the strategy does not contain any promises of new legislative proposals in the area.

We already have a lot of legislation in place, said Roswall on Monday.
