"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to thank Mr Seeber for the work he has carried out.
I should like to emphasise the added value that this document will bring to the Union, in that it concerns global events that presuppose global action. Action at Union level cannot be confined to those river basins that encompass several countries, since the problem relates to all river basins. To confront this problem, we must make use of good practice in land surveying and in long-term precautionary measures, principally through land maintenance.
In this connection I should also like to emphasise the added value that this sort of approach can contribute in the organisation of a satellite monitoring service for our territory. Such a service is absolutely essential, not least to give civil protection forces a framework for joint intervention; they will also need to intervene outside the borders of the Member States. In my view, there is no need for an excessively large bureaucracy to be able to respond effectively to such problems; what is rather needed is the capacity to supply examples and good practice aimed at guaranteeing the highest possible levels of prevention and of capacity for intervention.
I should also like to refer back to the document about cartography tabled by Mrs Brepoels. To be able to intervene we must have georeferenced maps at our disposal. In a situation where maps are available in electronic format and on GPS receivers, it is absurd that obstacles are raised in order to sell paper maps."@en1
