The European Economic and Social Committee has called for work on the Blue Deal in 2023. The main task is to prepare a strategy for water management at the European level.

The European Economic and Social Committee is an advisory body to the European Commission. It has more than 300 members from all member countries. In April of this year, a Pole – Krzysztof Pater – became vice chairman of the Committee. The Committee’s interests also included the issue of water. A widespread problem with both the quantity and quality of water throughout the European Union has been recognized.
