"I consider the joint draft resolution on natural disasters to be an extremely important signal for the European citizens, and I voted to support it. Its importance is underlined by the fact that climatic extremes are no longer chance events, but a well-defined weather trend. The influence of global warming on daily weather is obvious. Achieving the Kyoto targets has become a great challenge for the whole world. If we do not sharply reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, scientists believe that Europe is yet to feel the force of the weather in the next half century. The time has come to devise a clear strategy and take measures including financial instruments that will allow us to prevent, avert or at least postpone natural disasters. The long time it took to release the aid for the Slovak Tatra mountains has shown us that remedying the consequences of natural disasters in the future will require full commitment on the part of Europe, and immediate financial aid from the solidarity fund when a Member State requests it."@en1
