A
blue walk for a new " water culture " in Europe. A
long walk, from the Ebro delta to Brussels will
take
place from August 11th to September 9th, to alert public and
decision-makers to the water management problems in Europe.
The main goals of this action are :
- to implement as soon as possible the new water directive of
the European Union, which implies a deep change in the European
water management, based on a respect of the ecological balance
of rivers
- therefore, to block European Union financial helps to projects
that are not respecting this directive and in particular, the
very controversial "National
Hydraulic Plan " recently adopted by the Spanish government
- to protect deltas, estuaries and coastlines, to prevent over-exploitation
of water tables
- to demand a public and democratic management of water, our
common property.
The
Blue Marche ist organized by COAGRET in cooperation with ERN.
The French, German and Belgium Part will be coordinated ERN.
Associations
or individuals wishing to organize meetings can mail us.
