lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, every summer forest fires bring devastation to the environment and tragedy to our citizens. This is especially so in the southern Member States where high temperatures, strong winds and inaccessible terrain make fire-fighting extremely difficult. Prevention is, undoubtedly, of the utmost importance. In Cyprus, hundreds of forest fires occur every summer. Many are caused when overhead cables come into contact along power lines which cross forests. Last week I witnessed the outbreak of such a fire in my home region. This could easily be prevented simply by having overhead cables rubber coated, and yet such a simple and relatively inexpensive measure is not universally applied in many forest areas of southern Europe. Mr President, I should like to ask you bring this matter to the attention of the Commission, and request that before the summer recess a statement be made in relation to the implementation of forest fire prevention measures in the Member States."@en1
