Water UK chief executive Pamela Taylor on the UK water sector experience, at the Northern Ireland Water Forum.
"The water industry will always benefit from working together to help policy-makers make practical policy.
"Water UK exists to share ideas across the UK, but it also has strong working links throughout the European Union. As part of Water UK, NI Water shares these connections, and benefit from them. We all do.
"Most of our water legislation begins life in Brussels. One of our most important jobs is to make sure the European Commission and Members of the European Parliament fully understand what they’re doing – especially the impacts of their proposed decisions on ordinary citizens who have to pay for them."
