Paragraph 20 a (new)
20a. Notes that one third of all African infrastructure built since 2010 has been financed and constructed by Chinese state-owned enterprises; underlines that, over the past 20 years, China has increased its trade, investment and loan commitments worth $ 160 billion with few or opaque contractual obligations with African Governments and their state- owned enterprises, predominately in transportation, power generation, mining and telecommunications; expresses concern that this Chinese model is clearly attractive to many countries that cannot satisfy EU requirements for accessing equivalent levels of finance, thereby expanding Chinese influence to the detriment of EU partnerships; calls on the Commission and the EEAS to ensure that the EU’s high standards for investment with partners do not compromise it security relationships and engagement as a reliable and strategic partner;

Paragraph 22 a (new)
Paragraph 22 a (new)
22a. Stresses that access to safe drinking water is one of the major problems of the XXI century, especially since nearly 60% of aquifer resources cross political territorial borders; highlights that the water stress resulting from the increased freshwater needs of the world's population faced with strategic control of rivers at their source by some countries (China, Turkey, Israel and occupied Palestine, Ethiopia-Uganda- Sudan) can lead to the most serious conflicts if the use of flows in an integrated and shared manner is not envisaged; highlights the need for the European Union to establish a strategy to facilitate technological and geopolitical solutions in these areas of high destabilizing potential while encouraging countries situated in the most important areas of conflict related to water to sign the 1992 Helsinki Water Convention completed in New York in 1997 on the protection and use of cross-border waterways and international lakes;
