General Secretary ACV-CSC Trade Union (Belgium): "L’eau, comme l’air, sont indispensables à la vie. En faire des marchandises, c’est s’éloigner de l’humanité. L’accès à l’eau, en qualité et en quantité, est un droit essentiel qui doit être garanti à tout être humain, partout sur la planète"

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. »

Journalist and Professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium): "L'eau tombe du ciel, et c'est heureux car sans elle la vie n'existerait pas. On peut y voir un cadeau de Dieu, si on y croit, ou un don de la nature. Mais certainement pas un bien privé ni une arme stratégique. L'eau, comme l'air, n'appartient à personne et est indispensable à tous. Nul ne peut se l'approprier pour quelque but que ce soit."

Mayor of Naples (Italy): "Diviene progressivamente centrale un'efficace gestione dei beni comuni, intesi quali acqua e servizi pubblici, attraverso forme di accesso e di gestione condivise, con la partecipazione dei cittadini. Stiamo lavorando a un testo costituzionale europeo più attento ai diritti della cittadinanza, i cui contenuti si svilupperanno attraverso il lavoro dei sindaci, delle rappresentanze istituzionali dei territori, ed il coinvolgimento della cittadinanza attiva." "It becomes ever more necessary to establish effective ways of managing common goods, such as water and public services, through new participatory forms of access and management, with citizens actively involved. We’re working at a new European Constitution, closer to citizens’ rights, to be developed through the efforts of all mayors and institutional representations of territories and through the engagement of active citizenship."

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.

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."

Musiker, Liedermacher, Komponist, Schauspieler und Autor: „Wasser zu privatisieren ist die bislang größte Ungerechtigkeit, die sich die neoliberale Ideologie hat einfallen lassen.

President ACV-CSC Services publics (Belgium): "I sign for the Human Right to Water"

President of CITUB Trade Union (Bulgaria): "The right to water? -This is the human right to life!"

Executive Director of Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF), Netherlands: “We might want to make remark how important this human right to water and sanitation is especially for women, especially in developing countries and countries in transition, that it is often a question of life, death, illness and violence against women, and that we are VERY concerned that its some of the rich countries in the north, were sanitation is not a question of death, illness and violence, which are trying to turn back this new human right, which was agreed in 2010 by the UN general assembly”
