lpv:translated text	". In July and August, extremes of heat, drought and forest fires inflicted great suffering on European citizens. The forest fires, in particular, caused severe damage; human lives were lost, and the destruction of flora and fauna is harming the ecosystem. The rebuilding of the homes, factories and infrastructure that have been destroyed in the affected areas will take years, and people will not be able to accomplish it on their own. Dealing with the damage will require the creation of a whole network of relief agencies, and the people affected are in urgent need of solidarity, from the European Community in particular. I therefore welcome the allocation of aid totalling EUR 31.6 million for the people severely affected as being the EU’s first significant response, but we should assume even now that financial support will need to be improved – to what extent, it goes without saying, will be able to be determined only after the full extent of the damage has been precisely ascertained. It is, at the same time, indispensable that we ensure that it is possible to get the long-term help needed to rebuild the social and economic fabric started promptly and without bureaucracy. Also, for the sake of protecting the forests in future, steps must be taken to improve meteorological forecasts, thus making it possible to minimise the risks associated with adverse weather conditions."@en1
