"This report on the creation of a European Civil Protection Mechanism respects the notion of solidarity in emergencies, at both European and international level, with the emphasis on prevention and coordinated and effective disaster management.
In my opinion, the proposals seem quite positive, such as the dissemination of information and expertise and good practices, pre-identification of the assets available in the Member States, simplification of bureaucratic procedures, the references to climate change and also the responsibility of private operators and the provision of humanitarian assistance and aid regardless of political considerations.
Yet some aspects remain controversial, in particular, including references to bioterrorism, the glowing report given to its response to the Haitian disaster, the use of a highly centralised Civil Protection Mechanism with many powers, and the steps to train young people at a time when budgetary margins for manoeuvre are extremely tight.
However, due to the fact that the emphasis is placed on the principle of solidarity and subsidiarity and on international standards for humanitarian assistance, I voted for this report."@en1
