"Madam President, Commissioner, as we sit here debating, three men have lost their lives in Crete in a fire which is raging. Thousands of acres of forest have been lost in Greece and other countries, which are also the heritage and property of the European Union.
At this time I do not want to refer to shortcomings, to the responsibilities of governments. I want to ask for greater solidarity from the European Union so that we can protect our common forest heritage.
More money needs to be given from the Solidarity Fund, from the Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. The Barnier proposals gathering dust in desks at the Commission need to be activated at long last. A fund needs to be set up to protect our forests, to prevent fires and you need to examine the possibility, as you did for floods, of a directive on protection from the risk of fires.
Instead of discussing the theory of climate change, we need to do something as the European Union to protect our forest heritage."@en1
