lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, we can all see that natural disasters are on the increase because they are caused by changes in both climate and land use. The resolution I have drawn up – and I hope we shall have a near-unanimous vote on Thursday in plenary, as we did in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety – calls on the Commission to stop procrastinating, talking idly and postponing. I ask you, Commissioner: do you intend to take steps in the Commission to ensure that the Barnier proposal on the creation of a European civil protection force is approved, as the European Parliament repeatedly requests in its resolutions? Do you intend to take steps to make the Solidarity Fund more flexible and less bureaucratic? Do you intend to take steps to fill in the serious gaps in the legislation and the policies applied to allow Europe a greater and more effective presence in backing up the action taken by Member States where natural disasters are destroying properties and taking lives? In the Committee on the Environment, we approved a series of questions to the Commission, and you told us today that in a year’s time, in mid-2009, you would present proposals. The question is, when will the Commission decide to examine these issues seriously and give an answer to the European Parliament’s proposal? Which proposals do you agree with, and when will you carry them out? Which do you disagree with, and why? If the Council is holding you back and refusing to give you the funding you need, or if certain people in the Commission are preventing you, Mr Dimas, you should tell us so that we can help you. We do not want just fine words; we want action, so that this summer we will not be mourning the victims of major ecological disasters."@en1
