".
Mr President, I have listened very carefully to what has been said. First I wish to thank you all – the rapporteur and all the Members of Parliament who have spoken – for your support for this programme for civil protection, which we all feel is
important. I also thank you for your cooperation.
In answer to the question about how will this go forward, I can tell you that there will be no problem, there will be a prolongation. Coreper discussed the Commission proposal on 15 December, and it will go as an 'A' point – that is, one where there are no problems – to the Environment Council before Christmas.
Let me also say that, in the meantime, the Commission intends to present a proposal for a new legal instrument with a view to its entry into force in January 2007. That means that this new proposal will be based on the provisions of the new constitutional Treaty for greater possibilities to develop European cooperation in the field of civil protection; and thus we will be working particularly in the field of prevention that you all mentioned, but also in the field of response.
The next two years will be a transitional period to prepare in the best possible way the venue for the new Treaty, which will include many of the items and elements mentioned here. You all spoke about prevention and nearly all of you mentioned the importance of contributions of volunteers and also of social partnership and the question of financing, which depends on the financial regulations. Again, we are ready to make the preparations, and in the next few months the Commission will come up with a proposal. I hope that my colleague Commissioner Dimas will then be able to discuss this very closely with you."@en1
