".
The following points were adopted in plenary:
1 – The acknowledgement of the specific nature of natural disasters occurring in the Mediterranean;
2. The establishment of a Community forest fire protection programme;
3. The assessment of the possibility of creating a farming disaster fund;
4. Maintaining the eligibility of regional disasters in the Solidarity Fund;
5. Adapting the Solidarity Fund, in terms of time limits and eligible actions, in order to enable it to deal with the specific nature of natural disasters, such as drought and forest fire;
6. Special attention to the least favoured regions in the event of natural disasters.
It should be noted that, on the basis of proposals by Members from central and northern European Member States, the inclusion of the specific nature of the Mediterranean forest, which we had previously managed to ensure, has been watered down, in spite of our vote against.
This is another example of a situation in which those in control call the shots; that is to say that in this ‘federalist’ Parliament, the weighting of Members from each country, with central and northern European MEPs the dominant force, is a decisive factor in undermining the interests of Mediterranean countries, in which more than 90% of forest fires take place."@en1
