Lower V1 & Obstacle Clearance

Hi,

A lower V1 is used to establish wet-runway accelerate-go distance. The FAA and the JAA believed that the use of a lower V1 and a 15-foot screen height provides a better balance of risks; the risk of a runway overrun is reduced, but the risk of striking an obstacle during initial climb is increased.
What do you think about this statement?

Feedback appreciated
Regards
