"There are indeed two aspects. There are disasters, natural and man-made, and there is terrorist attack.
Allow me to speak from the perspective of the UK, where we have experienced both of those within the last year. Last December, at an oil-storage depot near London, we had the biggest fire in peacetime Europe. In July there was a serious terrorist attack in central London, with three tube trains bombed below ground and a bus above ground.
In each case we coped. And it is more than just a question of subsidiarity. We do not want to become dependent – and neither should anybody else.
So, I have a question. What do you mean by ‘European Consulates’? Are these to be imposed upon national systems, over and above them?
Another question: the European Civil Defence Force referred to in the Barnier report – what is it going to do? Is it an armed unit? If so, under whose control? Based where? Could it be deployed without national government request or permission?
Finally, the Constitution included a European policy on the prevention of natural disasters and on civil protection. A further question: is this an attempt to introduce parts of the dead Constitution into new legislation?"@en1
