Madam President, the Council would invite the honourable Member to refer to the statement made on this subject during the last plenary session in Strasbourg in February. In the same vein, it would remind the honourable Member that it recognises and shares his desire for the establishment of cooperation in civil protection in the Mediterranean, in particular by the possible creation of an early warning system in the Mediterranean as part of the Barcelona process.
In addition, the Council welcomes the fact that this issue is to be raised during the first session of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly from 12 to 15 March 2005 in Cairo. The Council points out that, with regard to the proposal put forward by the author of this question with the aim of finding a solution for the dangers threatening the Mediterranean region, an ad hoc group on partnership measures, appointed by senior officials responsible for the political and social chapter of the Barcelona process, discussed these issues on 9 February 2005. In particular, it discussed maritime safety in the region, and civil protection, particularly by preparing a mandate to draw up aid plans in the event of a tsunami as part of the existing interim Euro-Mediterranean programme.
On this matter, a seminar scheduled to be held in Marseille in June 2005 will aim to bring together the various instruments and should discuss prevention in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, operational organisation in collaboration with other forums such as the 5+5 or the Euro-Mediterranean forum, a specific assistance plan for the Mediterranean and a warning centre. The possibility of organising voluntary practical exercises shared between the Member States in October 2005 will also be looked into. The Luxembourg Presidency attaches considerable importance to this initiative, which it launched and in which it has participated."@en1
