".
The tragic events due to natural causes that have succeeded one another without a break in recent years demonstrate the need for a more considered policy and an analysis that avoids petty party differences.
As we have been saying for several Parliamentary terms, it is essential that we should immediately set up a European civil protection structure with the capacity to take swift action to deal with any eventuality that may affect our countries or other parts of the world. We have globalised the market; now we have to globalise prevention and civil protection.
We are therefore delighted that the G7 has decided on a moratorium on debt repayments for the disaster-hit countries; we accept the decision to entrust coordination of the aid and the reconstruction of the affected areas to the United Nations, despite its poor record in the past; and we call on the European Union to equip itself with a civil protection structure that will 1. coordinate the national civil protection efforts, 2. harmonise the national regulations, and 3. establish a permanent European structure.
We ask that the funds allocated by the Union for reconstruction should not be taken from the budget headings for the development of the poorest countries and that a Commission representative should report back to Parliament regularly on how the funds allocated by the Union have been used."@en1
