"Mr President, last year we saw huge floods all over Europe and we cannot forget those sad pictures of the endangered families, countryside and cities. Flood victims ask politicians, with good reason, to act at national and at European level to prevent disasters.
Floods do not stop at borders. The flood prevention programme and flood risk maps should be set up not just for individual states, but for river basins. Large international river basin plans must be coordinated at sub-basin level and measures taken in one country should not raise the flood risk in other states. This should be a basic criterion for any cooperation inside and outside the EU.
Floods are often followed by environmental pollution caused by industrial, agricultural and other facilities in the area, and sometimes the pollution is more dangerous than the flood itself. That is why flood risk management maps and plans need to take potential pollution sources into account."@en1
