Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Recent experience has shown that reliance on voluntary offers of mutual assistance, coordinated and facilitated by the Union Mechanism, does not always ensure that sufficient capacities are made available to address the basic needs of people affected by disasters in a satisfactory manner, nor that the environment and property are properly safeguarded. This is particularly so where Member States are simultaneously affected by recurrent disasters and collective capacity is insufficient. Member States should take adequate preventive action to preserve sufficient national capacity to properly deal with disasters.

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) Prevention is of key importance for protection against disasters and requires further action. To that effect, Member States should share risk assessments on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, including in cross-border events, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions as swiftly as possible. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, including in cross-border events, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support to disaster risk management. Administrative burden should be reduced and prevention policies should be linked together at regional and cross-border level and strengthened, including by ensuring necessary links to other key Union policies and instruments, notably the European Structural and Investment Funds as listed in recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/201313 . _________________ 13 Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 320).
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) Prevention is of key importance for protection against disasters and requires further action. To that effect, Member States should share risk assessments on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions, including education and professional training. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support to disaster risk management. Administrative burden should be reduced and prevention policies strengthened, including by ensuring necessary links to other key Union policies and instruments, notably the European Structural and Investment Funds as listed in recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/201313 . _________________ 13 Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 320).

Proposal for a decision Recital 6 (6) There is a need to reinforce the collective ability to prepare and respond to disasters notably through mutual support in Europe. In addition to strengthening the possibilities already offered by the European Emergency Response Capacity ('EERC' or 'voluntary pool'), from now on referred to as "European Civil Protection Pool", the Commission should also establish rescEU. The composition of rescEU should include emergency response capacities to respond to wildfires, large- scale floods and earthquakes, or to an acute lack of medication, as well as a field hospital, and medical teams in line with World Health Organisation standards, that can be rapidly deployed.
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 a (new) (6 a) The Decision should help facilitate the work of local and regional actors, who play a crucial role in disaster prevention and response. Local and regional actors should be adequately recognised in the design, coordination and deployment of mechanisms under this Decision, including rescEU, in order to minimise overlaps and foster interoperability. Member States should ensure the maximum use of available capacities at regional level, including using local authorities to help transit and store pooled assistance and to help coordinate relief efforts at the final destination in the requesting country. The Commission should provide complementary support in line with the principle of subsidiarity.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 a (new) (6 a) The role of regional and local authorities in disaster prevention and management is of great importance and their response capacities need to be appropriately involved in the activities carried out under this Decision, in accordance with Member States' institutional and legal framework. These authorities can play an important preventive role and they are also the first to react in the aftermath of a disaster together with their volunteers’ capacities.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 a (new) (6a) It is beneficial for there to exist, at local, regional and cross-border level, on- going cooperation on the formation of mixed intervention teams and a simple common alert system for rapid intervention prior to the arrival of rescEU assistance, as well as regular public information campaigns on initial response measures in the event of a disaster which take regional specificities into account.
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 b (new) (6 b) In order to facilitate a rapid and effective deployment of assistance, the mobilisation of assets under rescEU should also take into consideration the importance of adopting a regional and local approach, with a view to appropriately responding to the particularities of the regions affected.
Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 (7) The Union should be able to support Member States where available capacities are insufficient to allow for an effective response to disasters, especially in the case of cross-border events, by contributing to the financing of leasing or rental arrangements for ensuring rapid access to such capacities or by financing their acquisition. This would substantially increase the effectiveness of the Union Mechanism, by ensuring availability of capacities in cases where an effective response to disasters would otherwise not be ensured, particularly for disasters with wide ranging impacts affecting a significant number of Member States. The drawing-up of lists of the most suitable equipment for use by one or more Member States and Union procurement of capacities should allow for economies of scale and better coordination when responding to disasters.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 a (new) (7a) Many Member States are faced with a lack of material and technical equipment when unexpected disasters arise. The EU Mechanism should therefore make it possible to expand the material and technical base where necessary, in particular for the sake of rescuing persons with a disability, elderly persons or persons with an illness.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The scope afforded by EU macro- regional strategies should be put to use in order to establish operational prevention, management, and action centres when a disaster occurs in an area extending beyond a Member State's national territory.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 a (new) (7a) Local and regional authorities have a key role to play in the prevention and management of risks and disasters. They must therefore be involved in any activity carried out on the basis of this decision.
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 b (new) (7b) It should be ensured that, if the need arises, Member States can work at the Union's external borders together with neighbourhood countries in order to prevent disaster and mitigate its effects. In addition to the contribution in the event of disaster, this is a way to bolster the European integration process.

Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) In order to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of training and exercises and enhance co-operation between Member States' national civil protection authorities and services it is necessary to establish a Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network that is based on existing structures. The Outermost Regions and OCTs should also be integrated into that network.
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 a (new) (9 a) While strengthening civil protection in the light of disaster trends, both weather-related and those relating to internal security, is one of the most important priorities throughout the whole Union, it is essential to give Union tools a stronger territorial and community-led dimension, as local community action is the fastest and most effective way of limiting the damage caused by a disaster.
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 a (new) (9 a) In order to ensure greater awareness of environmental issues, training in environmental education and disaster prevention should be recommended to educational institutions in the Union.
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 (10) In order to achieve the functioning of the rescEU capacity, additional financial appropriations should made available to finance actions under the Union Mechanism. Synergies and complementarity should be sought with other instruments of the Union to ensure that any additional funding under the Union Mechanism is sourced as far as possible from existing Union instruments which support disaster prevention and risk management activities.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly as possible. Member States should continue to be able to access flexible co-financing options for assets that are provided on an ad-hoc basis, in recognition of the fact that not every type of assistance can be predicted in advance of a crisis.
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify, streamline, and increase the flexibility of, the Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly and as efficiently as possible.
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly as possible, including in response to cross- border events.

Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 12 a (new) (12 a) In order to prevent the occurrence of disasters, whether they be natural or man-made, the Commission should encourage Member States to regularly clean up their regions and carry out regional planning.
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 12 b (new) (12 b) The use of high-tech equipment such as drones and the establishment or reactivation of control towers in areas with high forest density should be encouraged to ensure more effective monitoring of urban and forest areas.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) It is important to ensure that Member States, together with local and regional authorities, take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border prevention action and response to threats such as serious cross-border health threats15 , including radioactive, biological or chemical accidents. EU macro-regional strategies also offer a high-quality framework for cooperation in the field of protection and prevention. Territorial cooperation programmes under cohesion policy provide for specific actions to take into account disaster resilience, risk prevention and risk management and therefore enhanced efforts for stronger integration and more synergies are needed. Likewise, coherence should be ensured with international commitments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. Better coordination with the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF), with a view to responding to natural disasters should also be established. _________________ 15 Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross border threats to health and repealing Decision No 2119/98/EC (OJ L 293, 5.11.2013, p. 1).
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) It is important to ensure that Member States take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border prevention and early warning actions, and response to threats such as serious cross- border health threats15 .

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) It is important to ensure that Member States take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border and inter-municipal prevention action and response to threats such as serious cross- border health threats15. Likewise, coherence should be ensured with international commitments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. _________________ 15 Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross border threats to health and repealing Decision No 2119/98/EC (OJ L 293, 5.11.2013, p. 1).

Proposal for a decision Recital 3 (3) Natural and man-made disasters can strike anywhere across the globe, often without warning, and are more frequent in the overseas territories, which are particularly exposed to certain violent climatic or seismic phenomena and which should therefore receive special consideration when civil protection policies are drawn up. Whether of natural or man-made origin, they are becoming increasingly frequent, extreme and complex, exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, and by their very nature irrespective of national borders. The human, environmental, and economic consequences stemming from disasters can be enormous.

Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The Union and individual Member States of the European Union are facing an increasing number of disasters. Above all, the refugee and migration crisis has made it clear that pan-European cooperation in crisis situations is sensible and necessary. Especially in cross-border areas, good coordination of activities makes sense and is important. The exchange of best practices between Member States is enormously important. Uniform standards for capacities and equipment are essential for increased cooperation in the European Union. In this context, it is essential to take into account and integrate the work, experience and proposals of the voluntary organisations in the regions and municipalities in the Union civil protection mechanism.
Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Recent experience has shown that reliance on voluntary offers of mutual assistance, coordinated and facilitated by the Union Mechanism, does not always ensure that sufficient capacities are made available to address the basic needs of people affected by disasters in a satisfactory manner, nor that the environment and property are properly safeguarded. This is particularly so where Member States are simultaneously affected by recurrent disasters and collective capacity is insufficient. To overcome these insufficiencies and emerging hazards, all Union instruments should be made use of in a fully flexible manner, including the promotion of active participation of the civil society.
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Recent experience has shown that reliance on voluntary offers of mutual assistance, coordinated and facilitated by the Union Mechanism, does not always ensure that sufficient capacities are made available to address the basic needs of people affected by disasters in a satisfactory manner, nor that the environment and property are properly safeguarded. This is particularly so where Member States are simultaneously affected by recurrent disasters and collective capacity is insufficient. Member States should undertake adequate preventive actions in terms of preserving the sufficient amount of national capacities to properly deal with disasters.

Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 a (new) (4a) EU civil protection teams present on the ground should be provided with a simplified version, updated in real time, of the list of requests and offers.
Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) Prevention is of key importance for protection against disasters and requires further action. To that effect, Member States should share risk assessments on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions. Member States should ensure comprehensive gender-sensitive programing since natural and human- made disasters, as well as environmental policies impact men and women differently. Therefore, in order to develop equitable and effective disaster risk reduction and strengthen civil protection mechanisms, gender issues need to be incorporated in all phases from prevention to preparedness and response processes, including shared risk assessments, crisis management interventions both in conflict and post- conflict situations. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support to disaster risk management. Administrative burden should be reduced and prevention policies strengthened, including by ensuring necessary links to other key Union policies and instruments, notably the European Structural and Investment Funds as listed in recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/201313 .

To that effect, Member States should carry out geomonitoring of water, air and the earth's crust, demographic research, especially in the area of migration, and share risk assessments on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support, in particular from the European Environment Agency (EEA), to disaster risk management. Administrative burden should be reduced and prevention policies strengthened, including by ensuring necessary links to other key Union policies and instruments, notably the European Structural and Investment Funds as listed in recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/201313. _________________ 13 Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) Prevention is of key importance for protection against disasters and requires further action. To that effect, Member States should share risk assessments, on their national safety and security risks, on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support to disaster risk management.

Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Risk constitutes a negative stimulus for the development of regions. Prevention and risk management imply the reformulation of policies and institutional frameworks, and the strengthening of local, national and regional capacities to design and implement risk management measures, coordinating a wide range of actors. Preparing risk maps by regions and / or member states, strengthening the response capacity and reinforcing prevention actions, with special emphasis on climate risks, is crucial. The risk maps must take into account both the risks caused by the current climate variability and the projection of the trajectories of climate change.
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Prevention is about a culture of precaution before disasters strike. The Union Civil Protection Mechanism should encourage and help the Member States to plan prevention measures strategically and operationally. The Member states and their authorities work closest to the citizens. The national authorities are best prepared to design and implement the risk management plans. Ultimate responsibility on the deployment of the capacities should stay with the Member States.
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) When Member States prepare their risk assessments and their risk management planning, they should take into account the specific risks to wildlife and animals welfare. The European Commission should encourage across Europe the dissemination of information about animals in disasters. Training programmes and courses should be further developed in this regard.
Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) To further enhance prevention, to enable early detection and early response, and to minimise the impact of disasters, there is a need to further develop early warning systems and alerts under the auspices of the Union Mechanism.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 b (new) (5b) The 2017 forest fire season was particularly long and intense in many Member States, resulting in over 100 deaths in one Member State alone. The lack of available assets, outlined in the Capacity Gaps Report 1a, and the inability of the European Emergency Response Capacity ('EERC' or 'voluntary pool') to respond in good time to all 17 requests for forest fire assistance, proved that the voluntary nature of Member States' contributions is insufficient during large- scale emergencies affecting Several Member States at the same time. _________________ 1aReport from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on progress made and gaps remaining in the European Emergency Response Capacity, 17.02.2017.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 b (new) Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 b (new) (5b) The most natural partners for deepening cooperation are neighbouring Member States who share the same expertise and structures and are most likely to be affected by the same disasters and risks.
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 c (new) (5c) The European Union should strengthen its support to manage the new threats arising from the increasingly frequent and devastating natural disasters caused by climate change. The European Union and its Member States should pool all their knowledge and efforts to create a European observatory on climate change as a necessary tool to support, in a coordinated way, the prevention of meteorological catastrophes and to contribute to the identification of risks and their solutions.
Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 d (new) (5d) The highest seismic risk Member States and regions must reinforce their response capabilities in the face of the possibility of devastating earthquakes and / or tsunamis, being essential that seismic risk coastal cities develop plans to evacuate coastal areas. Likewise, the elimination of critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and the increase of their resilience as well as the detection and mitigation of risks related to chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear threats (CBRN) need to be included in the Member States/regions risk maps. In this regards, the alignment with existing European legislation, Programs and Action Plans is fundamental.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 (6) There is a need to reinforce the collective ability to prepare and respond to disasters notably through mutual support between States in Europe. In addition to strengthening the possibilities already offered by the European Emergency Response Capacity ('EERC' or 'voluntary pool'), from now on referred to as "European Civil Protection Pool", the Commission should also establish rescEU. The composition of rescEU should include emergency response capacities to respond to wildfires, large-
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The role of regional and local authorities in disaster prevention and management is of great importance and their response capacities need to be appropriately involved in the activities carried out under this Decision, in accordance with Member States' institutional and legal framework. These authorities can play an important preventive role and they are also the first to react in the aftermath of a disaster.
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 (7) The Union should be able to support Member States where available capacities are insufficient to allow for an effective response to disasters by contributing to the financing of leasing or rental arrangements for ensuring rapid access to such capacities or by financing their acquisition. This would substantially increase the effectiveness of the Union Mechanism, by ensuring availability of capacities in cases where an effective
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 a (new) (7a) Many Member States are faced with a lack of material and technical equipment when unexpected disasters arise. The EU Mechanism should therefore make it possible to expand the material and technical base where necessary, in particular for the sake of rescuing persons with a disability, elderly persons or persons with an illness.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 a (new) (7a) In all its actions, the Union should take into account that in addition to the immediate effects of a disaster, women may have specific health care needs. Member States and the Union should as a priority ensure that pregnant women receive the necessary health care.
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 b (new) (7b) Sanitary and hygienic facilities, services and resources should be provided during all the stages of risk management, with special consideration and awareness to the particular needs of women and girls.
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 c (new) (7c) Women and girls are at an increased risk of experiencing physical and sexual violence in emergency settings. Therefore, it is vital that disaster management projects include measures to prevent and effectively respond to gender- based violence such as measures to keep women safe in wake of a disaster, while providing services to support victims of gender-based violence with healthcare, psychological support and other types of assistance. Issues related to violence against women and girls should be integrated into existing risk reduction and emergency response training and manuals.
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 8 (8) Reinforcing the European Civil Protection Pool requires enhanced Union financing in terms of adaptation and repair of capacities, as well as operational costs. This should be made through the redistribution of financial means while ensuring the efficient use of EU funds and without increasing the overall size of the EU budget.
Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 8 (8) Reinforcing the European Civil Protection Pool requires enhanced Union financing in terms of adaptation and repair of capacities, environment, economy and infrastructure, as well as operational costs.
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 8 (8)
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) In order to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of training and exercises and enhance co-operation between Member States' national civil protection authorities and services it is necessary to establish a Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network that is based on existing structures
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) In order to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of training and exercises and enhance co-operation between Member States' national civil protection authorities and services it is necessary to establish a Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network that is based on existing structures and the principle of voluntary cooperation between sovereign States.
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) In order to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of training and exercises and enhance co-operation between Member States' national civil protection authorities and services it is necessary to establish a Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network concerning demographic and sociological studies, in particular research into migration and management of migratory flows, that is based on existing structures.
Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9)
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) In order to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of training and exercises and enhance co-operation between Member States' national civil protection authorities and services it is necessary to establish a Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network that is based on existing structures. Due account shall be taken of the expertise available in the Member States.
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 a (new) (9a) In order to prevent and respond in a more effective way to the particular risks women and girls face in emergency settings, the staff and personnel working for the planning, deployment and managing in the field of disaster risk management and civil protection, should receive gender-sensitive training. For this purpose, the ongoing dialogue and work between the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network with networks and organisations of women’s rights defenders with an expertise in the field of environmental disasters, is of utmost importance to gain a fully transversal approach to prevention, preparedness and response to disasters in the Union and in the Member States.
Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 a (new) (9a) While strengthening civil protection in the light of disaster trends, both weather-related and those relating to internal security, is one of the most important priorities throughout the whole Union, it is pivotal to complement the Union tools with a stronger territorial and community-led dimension, as local community action is the fastest and most effective way of limiting the damage caused by a disaster.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Establishing a European network of hubs to deal with civil protection and crisis management will enhance knowledge sharing, infrastructure specialisation and capacity strengthening, with the aim of addressing current and future risks in the European Union.
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 (10) In order to achieve the functioning of the rescEU capacity, additional financial appropriations should made available to finance actions under the Union Mechanism, but not at the expense of the financial envelopes allocated to other key Union policies such as those promoting rights, equality and citizenship, justice or human development worldwide including all the funds allocated to gender equality and women’s empowerment programmes and projects, in particular, having in mind that the implementation of some of these programmes has been exceptionally successful (payment allocations for REC reached more than 99% in the previous three years).
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 (10) In order to achieve the functioning of the
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 a (new) (10a) Separate funding and budgetary allocations should be guaranteed for the revised Union Civil Protection Mechanism. Considering the need to avoid any negative impact on the financing of existing multiannual programmes, the increase in financing for the targeted revision of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 should be drawn exclusively from all means available under Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/20131a, with particular recourse to the Flexibility Instrument. _________________ 1aCouncil Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 884).
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 10 b (new) (10b) The planning and allocation of funding and budgeting for the revised Union Civil Protection Mechanism should incorporate the use of the gender- budgeting perspective, entailing a gender- based assessment to better incorporate a gender perspective to deal with emergency crisis in risk management and disaster prevention efforts.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify, streamline and increase the flexibility of the Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly and as efficiently as possible.
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access environmental information pursuant to the INSPIRE Directive assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly as possible.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) There is a need to simplify the overly complex Union Mechanism procedures to ensure that Member States can access assistance and capacities needed in order to respond to natural or man-made disasters as rapidly as possible.
Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 a (new) (11a) The selection and deployment of EU civil protection teams should be speeded up, and Participating States called upon to assess experts' performance.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) It is important to ensure that Member States take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism taking into account the special characteristics and needs of remote regions including islands. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border prevention action and response to threats such as serious cross-border health threats15 . Likewise, coherence should be ensured with international commitments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. _________________ 15 Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross border threats to health and repealing Decision No

Proposal for a decision Recital 13 (13) It is important to ensure that Member States take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce, through monitoring the environment and migration, links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border prevention action and response to threats such as serious cross-border health threats15. Likewise, coherence should be ensured with international commitments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. _________________ 15 Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross
Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 a (new) (13a) The modules previously registered in the Common Emergency Communication and Information System (CECIS) must be maintained in order to respond to requests for assistance and to participate in the training system in the usual way.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 a (new) (13a) It is equally important to connect the Civil Protection Mechanism, which is limited to the period immediately following the catastrophe, to other EU instruments focused on reversing the damage, i.e. the Solidarity Fund.
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 13 b (new) (13b) The Solidarity Fund must be modified by introducing the obligation to repair the damage to the environment and by using the GDP per capita of the region or Member State instead of the global GDP as an indicator for its approval, to prevent large populated regions with low levels of wealth from being out of the Fund. It is very important to value environment affected by a catastrophe in an economic way, especially areas of high natural value such as protected areas or covered by Natura 2000 network, in order to repair them.

Proposal for a decision Recital 15 Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 (15) Since the objectives of this Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone but can rather, by reason of scale or effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 a (new) (15a) Steps should be taken to ensure that the European Union's role is limited in primary legislation to supporting, coordinating and supplementing national civil protection measures. It is essential that the change in the current civil protection mechanism does not lead to a centrally managed European Union system, but continues to function as a system of solidarity and subsidiarity.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 b (new) (15b) The protection of the population is a top priority in the European Union. This task is a matter for each individual Member State. Prevention, preparedness and disaster management require detailed knowledge of local conditions and can therefore only be tackled with the help of national, regional and local authorities.
