Recital 2
(2) Whilst recognising the primary responsibility of Member States for preventing, preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters, the Union Mechanism, including rescEU, promotes solidarity between Member States in accordance with Article 3(3) of the Treaty on European Union by strengthening current capacities of Member States and ensuring effective preparedness and response, where Member States' capacities are insufficient.

Recital 3
(3) The unprecedented experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that the Union effectiveness in managing a crisis is limited by the scope of its governance framework, but also by the degree of Union preparedness in case of disasters impacting a majority of Member States. In addition, it has proven that the Union and Member States are insufficiently prepared for a large-scale pandemic. Therefore, it is essential that rescEU be reinforced.

Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Climate change has proven that the Union Mechanism and rescEU must be developed in order to effectively respond to a wide range of emergencies. The frequency and intensity of natural disasters inside as well as outside the Union have increased in recent years. Many Member States each year face ravaging forest fires destroying thousands of hectares while claiming many lives. Hence, it is imperative that the Union Mechanism include sufficient capacities to tackle forest fires and other natural disasters.
