European Economic
and Social Committee
Declaration for an EU Blue Deal
Given the essential nature of water and the current and future challenges facing the world and our continent, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) strongly believes that water can no longer be one of the elements of the Green Deal: a change of scale is needed at EU level. The EESC therefore calls on the European institutions to consider water as a priority and to adopt an EU Blue Deal as a standalone strategic policy, on an equal footing with the EU Green Deal. It must be a comprehensive, coherent policy, based on guiding principles and concrete actions as set out in this Declaration.
