Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Relief asset pre-positioning capacities should be developed in order to improve the speed at which the Union responds to disasters. Continued Union financial support will be indispensable for the development of depots/hubs that will guarantee effectiveness in terms of speed, quality and cost efficiency. In this respect, the Union would benefit from using the Union's outermost regions and overseas countries and territories, on a non- exclusive basis, as support bases to facilitate the pre-positioning of vital products and logistics, which would make it easier to deploy European human and material resources in the event of an urgent humanitarian intervention outside the Union.

(12) The development of civil protection assistance intervention modules, consisting of resources of one or more Member States which aim to be fully interoperable, is pursued at Union level in order to contribute to the development of a civil protection rapid response capability. Modules should be organised at the level of the Member States and subject to their direction and command. Particular attention should be paid in this context to civil protection capabilities in border areas and outlying regions of the Member States.

(18a) As a result of their geostrategic situations as set out in the Commission Communication of 26 May 2004 entitled ‘Stronger Partnership for the ORs’ and Michel Barnier’s report of January 2006 entitled ‘EuropeAid’, the outlying regions should clearly appear in the Member States’ risk management plans and benefit from priority implementation of modules aimed at preparing and coordinating interventions in their geographical environment.
