The Manifesto of the European Network
We recognize the Charter of Mexico City (joint statement of movements in defense of water) and Nairobi and the participatory approach and unified work that has characterized the Social Forums since their birth. In particular we want
:
1. The recognition and implementation of the human right to drinking water as a right necessary for life. Access to water as a universal human right should be included in all constitutions of member countries and in the basic principles and instruments of the European Union. The prepaid water meters should be banned.
2. The exclusion of water from all trade agreements, including treaties of the WTO.
3. The withdrawal of support from the European Commission, European Council and individual European governments at the World Water Forum which is an inappropriate decision-making structure on water. As stated in the resolution of the European Parliament in March 2006, the World Water Council - a private entity without democratic legitimacy - may not have such a strong influence on global policies on water.
4. The recognition by the European Union and member states that water is an essential commodity for life and therefore can not be regarded as a commodity to be put on the market. The ownership, management and control of the integrated cycle water should be public and participated in social and community level. The principles of public participation - transparency and accountability - must be respected.
5. The guarantee from the European Union and the Member States of the good quality of recognizing that this can only be guaranteed by public scrutiny.
6. A political and financial support for the various forms of public-public partnership through the development of international cooperation and financial resources to ensure access to water, through the exchange of good practices between public enterprises and local authorities on models of participation and solidarity between citizens and community countries and regions, including those suffering the effects of drought.
7. Collective responsibility for the investments needed to ensure safe and sustainable supply of water for all in Europe and the world, accountability should be ensured through general taxation.
8. The prohibition of industrial contracts for the exploitation of the mineral water bottled in order to protect and conserve this resource for future generations.
9. Sustainable management practices that protect the ecology of the natural cycles of water and maintain water quality in our rivers and groundwater that must be considered as a potential drinking water. This model Management should also prohibit the construction of large infrastructure projects (dams, river connections, etc..) financed by public funds that promote the commercialization of water by large corporations.
10. Good working conditions for employees of public water companies. Workers must be integrated into decision-making processes concerning the development of water services.
The European network of public water movement through the work on water, is open to dialogue and collaborate with the movements and networks that are fighting against the privatization of public services and common goods.
Participation and support, network with other continental and progressive forces in Turkey, to counter the World Water Forum World Water Council (Istanbul in March 2009) which will be presented inside and outside the Forum. At the next World Social Forum in Belem (January 2009) proposals and actions to ensure that water will become one of the themes of the worldwide mobilization of all social forums.

Ripubblicizzazione Apulian aqueduct: a significant achievement for the movement of water! Press
While the Government, through Article 15 of DL 135/09 , wants to finally put the water in the hands of the market, a very important signal of contrast comes from the Puglia region, which, on Tuesday 20 October, with a resolution of the Regional Council, marked the start of the aqueduct ripubblicizzazione Pugliese, defining water as a "common good and a universal human right" and the water service as "service of general economic regional irrelevant" and at the same time decided to appeal to the Constitutional Court on legislative measure because it infringes the Constitution of the powers assigned to the regions ...
While the Government, through Article 15 of DL 135/09, water definitely want to put in the hands of the market, a very important signal of contrast comes from the Puglia region, which, on Tuesday 20 October, by a resolution Regional Council, marked the start of the aqueduct ripubblicizzazione Pugliese, calling water a "common good and a universal human right" and the water service as "service of general economic regional irrelevant" and while deciding to appeal to the Constitutional Court the piece of legislation because it infringes the Constitution of the powers assigned to the regions. Thanks to the mobilization
fielded by the Committee Pugliese "Water Common Good" and the Italian Forum of Water Movements, the Region has also undertaken to approve soon a regional law that enshrines the transformation from Aqueduct Pugliese SpA to public corporation, thus defining the total water flow from the laws of the market.
We consider this act a remarkable achievement, the result of years of work for water movement, who were able to build a strong popular resistance to privatization of water, through the experience of hundreds of local committees, the establishment of the Coordination of Local Authorities for Ripubblicizzazione Water Services, in line with the proposals contained in the national law of popular initiative for ripubblicizzazione water that has collected over 400,000 signatures of which 30,000 only in Puglia , lying in the Parliament since 2007.
Certainly we are facing an important first step, to be followed by the end of the first concrete action by the Regional Council through the presentation of a bill.
why we feel right now mobilized for the road taken to continue in that direction. Just in recent weeks, in fact, the Italian Forum of the movements launched the National Campaign "Save Water" ( http://www.acquabenecomune.org/ ) which aims to mobilize civil society, citizens and local authorities against the commodification of water set by the government with the 'Article 15 of Decree 135/09 and the principles contained in the resolution approved are to show that the ripubblicizzazione of water services is a viable here and now.
At different regional and national political forces, we now say that, as regards the movement to water, not back torna.L 'Water is an essential human right to vita.Sottrarla to market means to defend life of all tutti.Restituirla a public management and owned by local communities means rebuilding democracy.

Italian Forum of Water Movements
Approved the art. 15: private water supply for all! The battle moves to the territories: the Local is the common good water riapproprino
today by a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives has completed its examination of the decree 135/09 which art. 15 marks the final and complete privatization of drinking water in Italy.
The government imposes a decree that citizens and local authorities are dispossessed of a right and a common good as the water to return it in the hands of private individuals and financial capital. This is done under the false pretext of standardizing the management of local public services the Commission's requirements in Europe while there is no obligation and the changes introduced to suppress the management "in house" at odds with the principles of European law. Although it is now plain for all who entrusted the management of water services in recent years to private parties, some provinces experienced in Italian or European level have produced solely to higher prices, lower investment and a steady increase in consumption, it continues to argue that private market and are synonymous with efficiency and cost savings.
The Italian Forum of Water Movements has fallen immediately in the field to counter this measure by the national campaign 'Save Water "to which there has been very high adesione.Ad today we delivered 45,000 signatures to the Speaker of the House in support of the appeal calling for the withdrawal of the rules to privatize water. In addition, thousands of people have expressed Art .15 dissent and opposition in a garrison held last November 12 to Piazza Deputies and in several local protests, thousands of people have sent emails to MPs they should not become law decree 135/09, many personalities have expressed their indignation on the one hand and on the other their support to the campaign.
In these days has increased awareness in society that give water market is to put democracy at risk. Although this mobilization of civil society and local authorities themselves, the government has imposed a vote of confidence and does not accept the demands and concerns of many mayors of government ruled by majorities of different political colors.

At this point we believe that the complaint will be subsumed in the territories, to ask the local authorities that the mayor riapproprino on water management through the recognition water as a human right and water service as a public service free of local economic importance and at the same time to urge the regions to enable appeals against the legitimacy of provvedimento.Queste mobilization pathways are viable as evidenced by the resolutions of the Board local tradition, the many resolutions passed by city councils in the rest of Sicily and Italy, most recently in Venice.
