"−
The floods in Central Europe again demonstrate the relevance of concerns and proposals that have already been discussed by Parliament on more than one occasion and that are contained in the adopted resolution, not least: the need to support, as quickly as possible, the areas affected by the economic and social consequences of this natural disaster; the need to revise the Solidarity Fund regulation, adapting the eligibility criteria to cover needs that are not currently included and allowing for more flexible and timely mobilisation; and the need to focus more on disaster prevention.
With regard to the last point, cooperation should be strengthened, whether on a regional or a European scale, and should be based on a complementarity of actions and on the principle of solidarity between Member States. In specific terms, EU special aid should be granted to Member States, among other things, for preventative measures to eliminate potentially dangerous situations: for renaturalising river beds; for restoring and protecting river basins, wetlands and related ecosystems; for increasing the flow capacity of bridges and culverts; for protecting or redesigning inhabited areas, not least urban ones that are particularly vulnerable to certain types of disasters; and for maintaining and monitoring the safety of large existing infrastructures."@en1
