lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will allow me to make some comments on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment and management of floods. This directive is the result of experience gained over many years in the Member States in relation to managing waterways. It places emphasis on the rational principles that are important to managing flood risks. People working in this field welcome the directive. Its introduction at a practical level will contribute to a reduction in the growing threat of floods. There should be no major problems either with adapting the laws of Member States or with the administrative requirements arising from the adopted directive. The Czech Republic has had experience over many years in the management of waterways. In 1975 it was one of the first states in Europe to approve a Guidance Plan for Water Management based on the management of individual river basins. The cross-border solidarity required in the directive under debate is naturally already observed today. One example of this would be the extraordinary operations on the River Morava in the Czech Republic during the latest floods in the spring of this year. Through these extraordinary operations, involving 230 million m3 of water outside the dammed reservoirs in the Czech Republic, the flow rate was reduced by more than 215 m3/s when it was peaking at 1500 m3/s, and the dikes on the Slovak and Austrian side are designed for a maximum flow of 1600 m3/s. In this way, successes were achieved in preventing loss of life and much worse flood damage. It can be seen from this example that we are certainly not defenceless in the face of floods. Through a rational and coordinated policy, we can achieve substantial results."@en1
