Mr. Chairman,
while fully supporting Luxemburg's statement on behalf of the European Union and its
Member States I would like to add the following points:

We know what we have to do and how to do it. We know our own responsibilities:
the need to prioritize water and sanitation in the national budgets, PRSPs and
national sustainable development strategies, accompanied by the structural and
legal framework, and to validate decentralization involving and training the
people
the need to put sanitation on top of the political agenda utilizing the agreed
techniques, technologies and action plans, particularly from the Water and
Sanitation Collaborative Council;
the need to improve managerial capacity and the understanding of the whole
range of policy options available at the local level and to apply innovative
financial instruments at all levels;
the need to continue efforts to achieve sustainable water management using
IWRM and to value ecosystem services with UNEP playing a stronger role;
the need for more and better coordinated donor engagement, in particular for
the poorest;
the need to make a better and more coordinated use of the vast capacities for
water and sanitation within the UN system by strengthening UN Water and
closely monitoring our progress.
Germany supports the Revised Chair's Text in calling for a substantial increase in official
development assistance and other resources.
My country invests more than 350 million Euro in water and sanitation and participates
with over 117 Million of the intended final volume of 500 million Euro in financing of the
EU Water facility.
