Cette proposition concerne évidemment non seulement les tremblements de terre, mais aussi les grandes inondations, les incendies, les grands accidents tels que nous en avons eus récemment en Autriche ou en France. Le premier niveau de décision conduit à une forme de coopération et de bonne coordination des mécanismes des États membres.
This proposal concerns not just earthquakes, but floods, fires and major accidents such as those which occurred recently in Austria and France, and makes provision for a first decision-making level resulting in a form of cooperation and proper coordination of national mechanisms, so that exponential results can be obtained from the mechanisms in the individual Member States for dealing with disasters.
