"Every year, in there is a different tragedy in a different Member State. In southern Europe, hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest are consumed by fire whilst, in northern Europe, floods cause devastation and death.
Every year, in Parliament, we say the same thing. We express regret for the losses and promise to address the shortcomings. Well-meaning words are not enough. It is necessary, on the one hand, to prevent disasters by combating climate change and taking environmentally-friendly measures, namely reducing the CO2 greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming.
On the other hand, the EU must respond rapidly and appropriately whenever there is a disaster. This is what the citizens expect and we need to recognise that the solidarity fund is not adequate for the purpose, nor does the civil defence mechanism, which has already been improved, always respond as promptly as required."@en1
