For this purpose, this new agreement aims to ensure that the entire European Union can have access to quality and safe running water for consumption. It seeks to facilitate access to drinking water for the most vulnerable individuals. Additionally, it guarantees free supply in public buildings, thereby encouraging restaurants, cafeterias, and other services.
With all these measures, according to the European Commission, a reduced consumption of bottled water could save households in the EU over 600 million euros per year.
