Input for the Ministerial Declaration
The committee was asked by the Mexican secretariat to suggest appropriate content for the Forum's proposed Ministerial Declaration. The committee proposed five statements for the Ministerial Declaration, and the Mexican government has used these to prepare their draft declaration. The committee was also asked to describe how internationally agreed water and sanitation policies are being implemented in Europe. The committee has submitted the document given in Annex C, which demonstrates that European practice is consistent with the internationally agreed policies such as those expressed in the final declaration of the 13th UN Commission for Sustainable Development. This document might be annexed to the Ministerial Declaration, if the Ministers agree to this in Mexico.
