"On 11 March the Pacific region, and Japan in particular, was rocked by a devastating earthquake and tsunami. I believe that it is important to mention once again here that natural disasters are increasing in number and intensity, and it is therefore necessary to rethink pre- and post-crisis scenarios at a global level in order to anticipate and provide assistance to the countries affected.
At the same time, the natural disaster also caused an extremely serious nuclear accident, which has affected the Fukushima nuclear plant in particular. This event has shown that it is crucial to think about safety conditions at European nuclear plants.
I would therefore like to call for a discussion, preceded by a thorough analysis, on how to reduce the devastating effects of a nuclear accident on the regions and people where it occurs. I welcome the EU’s willingness to extend all humanitarian, technical and financial aid as a priority, along with the instant activation of the European civil protection mechanism. However, I believe that it is vital to grant this mechanism more logistic and planning resources so that it can become a real mechanism for the protection of the countries affected."@en1
