Vice-President Federatia Sanitas (Romania): "To be able to live and work, I drink public water"

EU-Commissioner for Regional Policy and Cohesion from 1995 to 1999: ”I fully support the aim of the campaign “right2water”. As the first European Citizens’ Initiative it is a positive example that shows: people want to be involved in European politics and to be proactive. This is very important to promote Europe and to foster direct democracy.” EU-Kommissarin für Regionalpolitik und Kohäsion 1995 bis 1999: „Das Bürgerbegehren „Menschenrecht auf Wasser“ hat ein wichtiges Ziel, das ich unterstütze. Als erste europäische Bürgerinitiative ist es zugleich ein positives Zeichen dafür, dass sich die Menschen in die europäische Politik einbringen und aktiv werden wollen. Dies ist ein wichtiger Schritt zu mehr Bürgernähe und zur Stärkung der Demokratie durch bürgerschaftliches Engagement.“

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"

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."

Mayor of Vienna (Austria)

Public Services International (PSI) General Secretary: "Implementing this human right is the cornerstone of our work in the public water and sanitation sector. PSI member unions are mobilising to strengthen our democracies, to build stronger connections with community groups, to hold our officials accountable and to ensure universal access to quality public services for clean water and sanitation"

Coordinator Water Justice Network and Professor at Wageningen University, Netherlands: "Secure access to safe and sufficient water is fundamental for human beings and their social, natural and cultural living environments, but is increasingly threatened by powerful interests and agents who see it foremost as a commodity apt for profit-making business. Amidst water policies and practices that tend to be coloured by fundamentally unequal relations of power, the human right to water for all, and a fair and sustainable distribution of available water, are among the main issues and struggles of our time”

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".

TV personality in Lithuania: "The Humans are like those plants, which can not survive without the water. We are the Amphibians. And the Amphibians need the Water. It is our Human Right. And it is as simple as that. I like simple things. I like the rain, as I adore the sun. I love to sleep, as I prefer to be awaken. I desire to live so much as I am willing to die with the smile on my face. And nobody can take these simple things from me and my family. Especially the Water".
