"We are living in a time when more and more disasters occur. Last year, Europe had to face a number of very serious disasters, including flash floods and exceptionally widespread forest fires.
Recorded disasters within Europe over the past 20 years have affected more than 29 million people and caused EUR 211 billion in economic losses. Against the background of the dramatic increase in natural disasters, I share the rapporteur’s request for more efficiency in all stages of the European disaster management cycle, including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery, while optimising economic resources.
The Lisbon Treaty introduces new legal bases for civil protection in order to ensure a rapid response to disasters happening inside and outside the EU. I also hope that there will be a simplification of the European Civil Protection Mechanism which, in my view, is too bureaucratic.
I welcome the creation of a 24/7 emergency response centre which, in agreement with the Member States, would take decisions on the assets to be deployed in the event of a disaster in order to ensure immediate and effective assistance to the victims."@en1
