"First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur Ms Gardini for this important report, which presented a very topical issue to the House and for which I voted. Europe has had to face an unremitting increase in natural disasters, including severe ones. These include flash and increasingly frequent floods, heavy storms and forest fires which, over the past 20 years, have killed more than 90 000 people, affected more than 29 million and caused EUR 211 billion in economic losses. Faced with these numbers, the EU must respond more efficiently in all stages of disaster management, including prevention, preparedness and response, as well as implementing pre-identification of the assets available in the Member States that are placed at the disposal of the European Civil Protection Mechanism on a voluntary basis. I also share the rapporteur’s hope for simplification of the European Civil Protection Mechanism and the creation of a 24/7 European 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
