Given their conservative and market-oriented ideology, the ECR is likely to support the continuation of water charges as a means of ensuring that the costs of water provision and infrastructure maintenance are covered by users rather than being heavily subsidized by the state. This aligns with their broader fiscal and economic policies that favor minimal state intervention in the economy and the promotion of personal responsibility. Their support for water charges would be consistent with these principles, emphasizing the need for efficient resource use and financial sustainability of water services.

The European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR) generally advocates for free-market principles and might view water charges as a way to promote efficient use of water resources and to cover the costs of water infrastructure and maintenance. They are likely to argue that abolishing water charges could lead to wasteful consumption and reduce funds available for maintaining and improving water supply systems. Historically, conservative and reformist groups have supported user pays principles for public services to encourage responsible usage and ensure service sustainability.
