"I welcome this slim, concise report which epitomises EU solidarity and efficiency. This report is not about taking powers from Member States but rather attempts to assist Member States in disaster by information sharing and coordination of resources in order to act swiftly to save lives. There has been a huge increase in the number of disasters in the last 20 years: more than 90 000 people have died in disasters, over 29 million people have been affected by disasters, with an economic cost in excess of EUR 211 billion. In 1975, 78 disasters occurred; currently, almost 400 disasters occur worldwide per annum. Therefore, we need a more organised response to disasters in order to save lives. Disaster reduction is key to EU development and I sincerely welcome the attention which this report has drawn to this crucial area."@en1
