Part of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism &#8211; rescEU &#8211; will be reinforced with \u20ac2 billion over 2021-2027 to create reserves of strategic equipment to cover health emergencies, forest fire outbreaks, chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incidents or other major emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>This would reinforce the total budget for the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism to a total of of \u20ac3.1 billion. When the coronavirus hit Europe, there was a lack of many kinds of medical equipment across Member States, said the Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarcic: &#8221;Yet the EU did not have the power or the means to offer equipment; we could only encourage cooperation. Citizens expect the EU to act during a crisis. We all need to be better prepared and learn the lessons. rescEU will be massively strengthened to leave no EU country behind during a crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under the Commission&#8217;s proposal, the EU will create a reserve of crisis response capacities, be able to directly procure equipment and fully finance the development and operational costs of rescEU capabilities. The Commission has also proposed a substantial boost of its global humanitarian budget by \u20ac5 billion, allocating in total \u20ac14.8 billion to better respond to growing needs worldwide in the next EU long term budget 2021-2027.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/news-eu\/eu-crisis-response.26ia\/\">EU Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU Commission proposed Tuesday to give the EU the capability to react swiftly when a serious cross-border emergency such as the coronavirus strikes and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[32,40],"tags":[3360,689,75,2603],"class_list":["post-12860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-csr-news-en","category-weben","tag-capability","tag-crisis","tag-eu","tag-response","wpcat-32-id","wpcat-40-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rsz_vaulogo.jpg?fit=100%2C58&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12860"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12863,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12860\/revisions\/12863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
