"The strategy developed in the excellent Barnier report with a view to making the most of the very considerable efforts made by Europeans in the field of emergency aid could supplement the Community civil protection mechanism instituted in 2001, whether the crisis were internal or external to the EU. I particularly approve of the proposal aimed at basing this force in the EU’s seven outermost regions, which give Europe a human and territorial presence off the African coast - the Canaries and Madeira – in the Indian Ocean – Réunion – and in or close to the Americas – Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe and the Azores – not to mention the overseas territories in the Pacific: French Polynesia and New Caledonia. We must follow the example of the French Red Cross, which has created overseas-based teams for responding to humanitarian crises. These are capable of rushing to the area concerned in less than 24 hours, setting up emergency hospitals and providing tents, medicines, water supplies, telecommunications and logistical support. In order to give practical expression to the ‘Europe of projects’, the European Union must take initiatives inspired by a clear, comprehensible and strong political will. Enhanced civil protection on the part of Europe would involve a federative dimension, strongly identifying the action concerned as European, and, in accordance with the principle of solidarity dear to our Community, would represent a source of pride for our fellow citizens."@en1
