00:00What we are seeing is devastating. Entire villages are covered with mud. People seeking refuge on trees and cars swept
00:10away by the fury of the waters. Tens of people have lost their lives. Thousands are displaced and therefore our
00:20thoughts are with the victims and with the families and their friends but also with the rescue teams.
00:26The rescue teams are working tirelessly to bring as many as possible to safety and Europe is ready to help.
00:34We have activated our Copernicus satellite system to help coordinate the rescue teams and we have already offered to activate
00:44our civil protection mechanism.
00:46In just a few months, floods have hit Central and Eastern Europe, Italy and now Spain. This is the dramatic
00:57reality of climate change and we must prepare to deal with it all across our union and with all tools
01:05at our disposal.
01:06Thank you so much.
