"I wish to express my solidarity with the victims of the floods which have hit Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The Danube’s waters rose to a very high level in Romania as well, threatening a number of locations with floods, including in the Danube Delta area.
Climate change is causing desertification and increasing the incidence of extreme natural phenomena such as storms, torrential rain and floods. The development of an effective system in Europe for averting and managing flood risks is an absolute must. According to the specific European directive, Member States must evaluate flood risks in river basins by 2011 and produce flood plain maps by 2013.
I call on the Commission to make sure that the plans and strategies for reducing flooding are going to mean more than just pieces of paper. I also urge the Commission to draft a common policy on inland waters which will provide an integrated approach to dealing with economic and social development in Europe’s river basin regions, as well as with environmental protection, water quality and the prevention and management of flood risks."@en1
