". The natural, technological and environmental disasters that repeatedly cause devastation throughout entire regions of the globe have always given rise to requests for urgent measures to make civil protection interventions at Community level more effective. This has been achieved through the proposal for a decision, which I feel able to support. As draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Budgets, with regard to this proposal, I would like to stress how this Community mechanism for the coordination of civil protection intervention was set up on a permanent basis to respond to specific emergencies. In fact, the proposal seeks to create a body within the Commission which will coordinate the actions in the Member States. The mechanism will cost EUR 1.5 million per year, which will be charged to the B4-3300 budget heading entitled ‘Community cooperation for civil protection and situations of environmental urgency’ for which there exists another legal basis that authorises a multiannual programme (2000-2004), whose grant is EUR 7.5 million. In accordance with the joint declaration of 20 July 2000, I have taken note that this additional cost is now compatible with Heading 3 of the Financial Perspective, without existing policies being cut. I am, however, still confused on two points, which I asked the Commission to clarify in my report. First of all, the distinction between economic, actual operational costs such as the intervention teams and the assessment and co-ordination teams, and the structural costs of a more administrative nature; secondly, the risks of duplicating the actions financed under co-operation in civil protection, which also provides for exercises, exchanges of experts and the mobilisation of specific competencies. In any case, I feel that this proposal for a decision is to be supported, and I announce that my group will be voting in favour."@en1
