"Mr President, we are talking about an unprecedented disaster, the loss of human lives, and an economic and environmental disaster. This has been brought about by climate change, drought and high temperatures, as well as a lack of prevention and planning, and especially a lack of coordinated action.
We must take immediate, concerted action to support the victims. Reforestation and restoration of the protected areas must begin immediately. We must also prevent the illegal conversion of land into building sites.
We can achieve this through a ‘European reflex’, provided we mobilise Community funds without bureaucratic delay; adopt and enforce strict environmental legislation to protect forests and ecosystems; establish an independent European rapid-response team; and implement a European strategy to combat the impact of climate change.
However, we should also highlight the needs of the more vulnerable sections of the population, such as children, the elderly and the disabled.
I should like to thank Commissioner Špidla for reminding us that we should incorporate anti-exclusion measures into Greece’s plan of action."@en1
