"Madam President, a rapid and coordinated response, as well as the ability to engage fully all available resources, are vital in the face of increasingly frequent disasters and catastrophes. For only such measures will limit human tragedy and reduce material losses.
I am very pleased that the report has emphasised the role of local and regional authorities, which are at the frontline when disasters strike. We are all aware that they fulfil a crucial role, both in terms of the prevention of natural disasters as well as in terms of the relief they provide in the aftermath of such disasters. I am also glad that the issue of making the Solidarity Fund more flexible has been raised, ladies and gentlemen, for it is quite unacceptable for victims of tragedies to wait for months or years to receive financial assistance. I would like to congratulate and to thank the rapporteur, and I hope we will accomplish all the proposals contained in the report and that we will improve the coordination, communication and speed of response at all levels."@en1
