The purpose of the proposal that the EU presented today is that the population can “continue to function” and that it is “protected” in the case of a crisis.
Since several sources were claimed yesterday, the European Commission (CE) asked on Wednesday that the European households are storing Essential supplies For at least 72 hours before a possible crisis, within the framework of a new preparation strategy to make threats such as natural disasters, pandemies, cyber attacks or even a war.
“The new realities demand a new level of preparation in Europe. Our citizens, our Member States and our companies need the right instruments to prevent both crises and to respond quickly when a catastrophe occurs,” said the president of the EC, the president of the EC, in a statement, the president of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen. As an example, he said that “families who live in flood areas must know what to do when the waters rise”, and that “early alarm systems can prevent regions that are affected by forest fires, wasting a good time.”
The CE has today the ‘Union pre -spread strategy’ To help Member States to be prepared for a crisis and prevent fragmentation in the answers to ‘challenges that cannot be ignored’. First, “growing tensions and geopolitical conflicts”, hybrid threats and cyber attacks, manipulation and foreign interference in information or terrorism and organized crime, but also the consequences of climate change and the increase in natural catastrophes.
The aim of the proposal is that the EU can continue to “work” and that its citizens are “protected” in the case of such a crisis that can influence democracy or development of basic services such as health or education, or even the internal market.
30 important promotions
In particular, it contains 30 important actions and an action plan with objectives that influence all EU policy and consider, among other things, to promote the preparation of the population. It therefore encourages the population to take “practical measures”, such as storing essential supplies for at least 72 hours in an emergency.
The CE will not prescribe which medicines would be in it Survival Since that is a competence of the Member States, but it does ask to take into account the needs of the vulnerable groups of the population, community sources have indicated. In the sense, he has indicated that there are countries such as France that describe all such guidelines for the population, but that others do not do that, so the idea is to create a common framework.
Likewise, the strategy argues for Instruct students in schools about how to be confronted with emergency situations and be able to introduce a day of the EU preparation.
To protect the essential social functions of the Union, the Commission asks to develop minimal preparation criteria for essential services such as hospitals, schools, transport and telecommunications. In that context, it also evokes to improve the storage of essential equipment and materials and adaptation to the climate and the availability of critical natural resources such as water.
Military prepration
To improve the coordination of the reaction to crises, it urges an EU crisis center to improve the integration between existing crisis structures and the Civil-military cooperation.
In particular, through periodic preparation exercises throughout the EU that meet forces, civil protection, police, health staff and firefighters, and facilitating investments in double use (civil and military).
Natural catastrophes
Another goal is to strengthen the forecast and anticipation options with an exhaustive evaluation of risks and EU shell threats, which helps prevent crisis such as natural catastrophes or hybrid threats.
Also increase cooperation between public and private sectors through an operational group; Formulate emergency protocols with companies to guarantee the rapid availability of essential materials, goods and services and to guarantee critical production lines.
Finally, De CE insists on working more with partners from all over the world and in particular with strategic partners such as NATO in matters of military mobility, climate and safety, emerging technologies, cybernetics, space and the defense industry.
