"As the honourable Member points out, these issues of civil protection and civil defence are very important. We therefore have a plan involving increased opportunities for the Commission to, for example, arrange joint exercises for emergency services and contributions to civil protection from different Member States. We also have better coordination within the Commission in order to be able to come up directly with the information needed and, sometimes too, with the special initiatives and special forces needed in order to help, depending upon what kind of accident, disaster or natural catastrophe may be involved.
When I visited Brittany, I appreciated for myself that there was a need for a unit, or specialists, with responsibility for cleaning and washing birds affected by oil slicks. It is precisely that kind of service which ought to be looked into. Where is it to be found? How shall we be able to mobilise it quickly when it is needed? And how can we train ourselves to be able to react still more quickly?
The plan and the proposal already exist. We also have to coordinate our emergency teams. I believe we have made some good progress. It is now also a question of allocating enough resources to make the plan really work in practice."@en1
