". I welcome the Commission’s initiative in finally producing a document on improving the coherence, effectiveness and visibility of the EU’s reaction to natural or man-made disasters. Yet I am sorry this is still not a really practical proposal that is likely to boost Europe’s capacity in the area of civil protection, including prevention and rapid reaction, in the event of major crises occurring within or outside the Union. I thank MEPs for supporting my amendment on using the expertise relating to the geographical location of the outermost regions (OR) and the overseas countries and territories (OCT). Thanks to those overseas communities, Europe is present off the African coast (Canaries, Madeira), in the Indian Ocean (Reunion), close to the American continent (Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Azores), not forgetting the Pacific OCT (French Polynesia, New Caledonia). Europe’s overseas territories could become bases for pre-positioning vital products and logistics. That would make it easier to predict the available European human and material resources in the event of the need for urgent intervention outside the Union."@en1
