The undertaking of a joint UN-EU initiative for institutionalized cooperation between the two communities in activating the European Civil Protection Mechanism RescEU in cases of natural disasters in Cyprus, such as forest fires and floods, proposes Presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades.
In a written statement after describing as positive the decision of the Republic of Cyprus to assist firefighting forces to deal with the fire in the occupied Kandara, Mr. Demetriades notes that the RescEU initiative can be forwarded by the Cypriot government to the European Council to secure the support of our partners.
Demetriades notes that the experience gained from the Joint Technical Committees and ad hoc cooperation in forest fires creates the conditions for another step for the protection of the environmental resources of the entire island.
