It is not only in the Member States that solutions to these problems are being sought. Last October in Turin, the countries in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership bluntly demanded a Marshall plan for water for the south coast of the Mediterranean.
Det er for øvrigt ikke kun i Unionens stater, at man søger løsninger på disse problemer: landene i Euro-Middelhavspartnerskabet anmodede i Torino i oktober simpelthen om, at der for den sydlige del af Middelhavet blev indført en Marshall-plan for vand.
