Around 25% of EU drinking water is lost to leaks, and up to 60% in some regions. 🚰 Water scarcity may cost the EU up to €9bn a year.

Our #EUBlueDeal calls for:
💧 a “Water Test” for EU laws;
💧 polluters to pay;
💧 water to be an EU priority.

We are at the #SMECAssembly2026 with a strong delegation representing the voice of civil society.

The few acts that provide relief for SMEs are peanuts compared w/ the volume of legislation adopted at EU level: around seven legal acts a day.
