Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Stresses that problems related to water shortages, part of a trend, which is growing owing to natural phenomena and global warning, are one of the EU's main concerns and priorities for action. If nothing is done, economies will collapse and farming activity will be abandoned in large areas because it will be impossible to maintain animal feed and irrigation, resulting in people abandoning those areas and increased desertification. Desertification in the EU is a growing threat that requires more action, strategies and proper financing.

Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. The multiannual financial framework will be negotiated in unprecedented circumstances, including those resulting from Brexit, and under a different economic and social reality. The guarantee of a transition to an economy which is more efficient and prepared when it comes to addressing the challenges resulting from climate change cannot be used to justify reducing financing for cohesion policy and the common agricultural policy, which play a decisive role in environmental matters.
