There is, of course, a positive aspect to this natural phenomenon: if it is handled properly and if aid is provided, expertise in this area may become an exportable commodity and possibly even boost economic competitiveness and employment.

Your rapporteur calls upon the Commission to help formulate a European strategic research agenda for earthquakes, with the involvement of seismic areas which, as ‘open-air laboratories’, may also have the opportunity of making capital out of their natural handicap.

The seismic evaluation and, where appropriate, the upgrading of buildings and infrastructure of strategic importance must, according to scientific experts, be priority preventive measures in the EU.

Member States and the Commission should therefore initiate evaluations in geographical zones, initially zones of medium or high seismic activity, with the aim of classifying buildings according to a uniform list of priorities.

By 'buildings and infrastructure of strategic importance' your rapporteur understands essentially buildings and infrastructure of vital importance for civil protection and society, for instance, hospitals, power stations, energy production plants and networks, bridges, telecommunications networks, schools and other public buildings.

Furthermore, ancient buildings and monuments which are of significant historical, cultural and tourist - and, by extension, economic -importance for many regions of Europe should also be afforded similar protection.

We should examine how the European, national, regional and local levels can contribute to the constant upgrading of anti-seismic protection measures for all the above.

Your rapporteur would point out in particular the need to examine the possibility of extending implementation of Euro Code 8 (concerning standards of anti-seismic construction) to include old constructions, in addition to new ones, for which is included a special commitment.

A technical protocol for joint action by the Union , must be adopted to address major disasters caused by earthquakes, highlighting the potential role of various national, regional and local authorities and with guidelines to ensure the effective protection of critical infrastructures.

Effective and rapid measures to repair unavoidable damage are of key importance in determining how rapidly or slowly a region will recover from an earthquake.

This applies particularly to disadvantaged regions , such as convergence objective regions, regions with low population density or declining populations and mountainous, island, border, remote and ultraperipheral regions.

An earthquake in such regions can violently interrupt their development or make them even more disadvantaged than previously, given their special characteristics.

As a result, the speed at which Member States address the damage caused by earthquakes and the solidarity shown by the Community to affected areas are critical (see paragraph B below).

The absence of flexibility, particularly as regards deadlines and actions eligible for funding have meant that the needs of earthquake victims are essentially being ignored (as mentioned above, this Fund has only been used once for earthquakes).

Only in this way will it be possible to ensure an adequate level of resources comprehensibly to address the composite phenomenon of earthquakes.

Common experience shows that the greatest shortcomings in addressing natural disasters lie in the coordination, cooperation and flexibility of the bodies involved at Community, national, regional and local levels (fire services, emergency medical units, the police, mountain rescue teams and sea rescue and mine rescue services).

Finally, given the existence of multiple preventive, management and civil protection measures in respect of natural disasters promoted by various EU policies (environment, cohesion policy, research etc), your rapporteur takes the view that the Commission should bring together all existing instruments.

(2) It is evident that pressures on natural marine resources and the demand for marine ecological services are often too high and that the Community needs to reduce its impact on marine waters.

(2) It is evident that pressures on natural marine resources and the demand for marine ecological services, such as waste absorption , are too high and that the Community needs to reduce its impact on marine waters within and beyond Community territory .
(3) Морската среда е ценно наследство, което трябва да се защитава, съхранява и, там където е възможно, да се възстановява, с крайна цел да се поддържа биологичното разнообразие и да се осигурят океани и морета, характеризиращи се с разнообразие и динамика, които са чисти, здравословни и продуктивни.
(3) The marine environment is a precious heritage that must be protected, preserved and , where practicable, restored with the ultimate aim of maintaining biodiversity and providing diverse and dynamic oceans and seas which are clean, healthy and productive.
В това отношение настоящата директива следва да осигури екологичния стълб на бъдещата морска политика на Европейския съюз.

In that respect, this Directive should deliver the environmental pillar of the future Maritime Policy for the European Union and, inter alia, promote the integration of environmental considerations into all relevant policy areas.
(10) Следователно е целесъобразно всяка държава-членка да разработи морска стратегия за своите морски води, която отчита спецификата на тези води, като същевременно отразява общата характеристика на дадения морски регион или подрегион .
(10) Each Member State should therefore develop a Marine Strategy for its marine waters which, while being specific to its own waters, reflects the overall perspective of the Marine Region or Sub Region concerned.
Морските стратегии следва да намират оптимален израз в изпълнението на програми с мерки, създадени с цел постигане или поддържане на добро състояние на околната среда.
Marine Strategies should culminate in the execution of programmes of measures designed to achieve or maintain good environmental status.
Все пак не трябва да се изисква от държавите-членки да предприемат специфични стъпки там, където няма значителен риск за морската среда, или където съответстващите разходи биха били несъразмерно високи спрямо риска за морската среда, при условие че всяко решение да не се предприемат действия е надлежно аргументирано.
However, Member States should not be required to take specific steps where there is no significant risk to the marine environment, or where the costs would be disproportionate taking account of the risks to the marine environment, provided that any decision not to take action is properly justified.
(10) Следователно е целесъобразно държавите-членки, които граничат с един и същ морски регион, да гарантират изготвянето за всеки регион или подрегион на една единствена обща морска стратегия за водите под техния суверенитет или юрисдикция.
(10) It is therefore appropriate that Member States sharing a Marine Region should ensure that a single, joint Marine Strategy is produced per region or sub-region for the waters falling under their sovereignty or jurisdiction .
Всяка държава-членка следва да разработи морска стратегия за своите европейски води, която отчита спецификата на тези води, като същевременно отразява общата характеристика на дадения морски регион.
