". – Mr Ortuondo Larrea, you are absolutely right. This is a matter of implementation. The Commission acted at an unprecedented speed after the
accident. In three months we have prepared a full proposal for doing more to prevent such horrible accidents from happening again. But this also takes implementation; Member States must be serious about that.
As you know, after the
accident we followed up to ensure that a time plan was enforced and that we could move more quickly than we previously planned.
The response from the Commission has been a serious one. It has been very quick and we have been ambitious about what needs to be done. Now it is a matter of implementation at Member State level as well.
When it comes to emergency plans, this is a matter for Member States. They should identify the areas which are the most sensitive. They regularly do this. This is the work of civil protection authorities in each and every Member State. For us it is a matter of reacting as quickly as possible, making sure that we mobilise and send whatever equipment, expertise or help that we can, immediately after an accident has happened. From now on we can respond on a 24-hour basis.
Through very intensive cooperation we can be better prepared because we will know about the plans of each and every Member State. It is a matter of subsidiarity to formulate those emergency plans in each Member State."@en1
