Een volmondige neen tot hiertoe ...
Is er ook iemand die zijn mening wenst te verduidelijken ... (daar draait het in een forum toch om ...) |
Als de overheid niet in staat is om het water op goede wijze te beheren mag het water geprivatiseerd worden onder strikte voorwaarden die opgelegd kunnen worden door de overheid of door de internationale gemeenschap (bv goede bereikbaarheid van goedkoop water voor iedereen).
Maar voor de internationale gemeenschap is er wel nog werk om zijn autoriteit bij te schaven. |

Het gaat om zoet water te privatiseren.
Zeewater (of zoutwater) privatiseren is nutteloos. |
het water zal toekomen aan diegenen die het weten te veroveren.
|

Ik zou de redenen van de neen stemmers eens willen horen.

Sex is dat ook, moeten we dan ook gratis hoeren ter beschikking stellen? Ik zie niet goed in wat levensnoodzakelijkheid te maken heeft met staatsinmenging. |

Men kan zijn eigen beesten en groenten kweken. Water kweken is onmogelijk. |

Water is een grondstof zoals 'n ander. Weilanden, bossen, mijnen, groeves, olievelden, mag allemaal geprivatiseerd worden. Waarom water niet?

Water is een primaire behoefte en moet er voor iedereen zijn. Toch wel weer heel frappant dat uitgerekend in de armere landen water eerst geprivatiseerd wordt. En allemaal opdat de guys in suits can get richer on the new market ~the poor people :roll: Nooit die "commercial" gezien van 11.11.11 over het water privatiseren. Een eye-opener, alleszins. Kijk eens wat waterprivatisering tot nu toe al heeft gedaan : An analysis of World Bank lending policies shows that the bank has increasingly linked aid to privatization. [size=4]FRANCE [/size]Water and Power: The French Connection France is the birthplace of modern water privatization, but its leading companies have been rocked by scandals and allegations of influence-peddling. [size=4]SOUTH AFRICA [/size]Metered to Death: How a Water Experiment Caused Riots and a Cholera Epidemic The biggest problem in this country ravaged by AIDS, tuberculosis and malnourishment, is water. Few can afford it. But with World Bank blessing, the government is trying to end water subsidies, forcing millions of South Africans to seek their water from polluted rivers and lakes. The result: one of the largest outbreaks of cholera. [size=4]ARGENTINA [/size]The 'Aguas' Tango: Cashing In On Buenos Aires' Privatization Global water giants partnered to run a water system in the Argentine capital that the World Bank touted as a model of privatization. Investors extracted millions in profits. But now the model is crumbling under the weight of mounting costs. [size=4]PHILIPPINES [/size]Loaves, Fishes and Dirty Dishes: Manila's Privatized Water Can't Handle the Pressure Politically connected families and private companies split Manila in two to share turf. At first, the two companies brought miracles by bringing running water to thousands of poor people who never had it. Now the miracle has faded as one company bails out, leaving behind enormous debts. [size=4]INDONESIA [/size]Water and Politics in the Fall of Suharto Two powerful multinationals deftly used the World Bank and a compliant dictatorship to split control of a major city's waterworks. [size=4]COLOMBIA [/size]A Tale of Two Cities Coastal Cartagena was the first of about 50 cities and towns to privatize its water in Colombia. The capital Bogotá bucked the privatization trend, refused World Bank money and transformed its public utility into the most successful in Colombia. [size=4]UNITED STATES [/size]Low Rates, Needed Repairs Lure 'Big Water' to Uncle Sam's Plumbing Foreign private companies are gearing up to control a multibillion-dollar market to upgrade the nation's aging water system, after spending millions of dollars over the last six years to sway Congressional votes on privatization laws. Americans have the safest and cheapest public water systems in the world. But, as foreign companies flex their financial muscle, America's drinking water may not be so cheap or public for long. [size=4]CANADA [/size]Hard Water: The Uphill Campaign to Privatize Canada's Waterworks Hamilton was the first privatized large water utility in Canada, a country where waterworks have been overwhelmingly a public affair – and where most people like it that way. The Hamilton experience was supposed to demonstrate an alternative, free market model, supposed to change public opinion. It has. But not as expected. [size=4]AUSTRALIA [/size]The Big Pong Down Under Fifteen months after Adelaide signed a contract turning over its waterworks to a private consortium controlled by Thames Water and Vivendi, the city was engulfed in a powerful sewage smell, which became known as “the big pong.'' |
