All right. Good morning everyone and thanks for joining us in our press conference on the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, for the EP position for which will be voted today in plenary after 11:00 a.m. And yeah, this press conference is web streamed and we have interpretation in English, French, German, Spanish, and Lithuanian, so feel free to use that. We have with us today our co-rapporteurs. We have Ms. Leire Pajín representing the ENVI Committee and we have Mr. Aurelijus Veryga representing the SANT Committee.
So, we will start with some opening statements and then go to questions. So, perhaps we start with Ms. Pajín.

Thank you so much. Good morning, everyone. I am going to speak in Spanish. Déjame empezar hablando del alcance del reglamento que votaremos dentro de un rato en en el pleno. Cuando un mecanismo se activa más de 900 veces desde su creación hace 25 años, pero sobre todo lo hace de forma exponencial, 510 veces en los ñultimos cinco años, nos indica la necesidad ante la que estamos y la importancia de un mecanismo como el que estamos hablando.
Para nosotros era muy importante entender que el Mecanismo de Protección Civil de la Unión Europea es un mecanismo que ha funcionado bien hasta ahora, pero que debe ajustarse y acoplarse al contexto que vivimos.
