Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(5a) The frequency, intensity and complexity of natural disasters and forest fires require an extra level of solidarity at Union level. This situation was particularly visible during the 2017 forest fire season in Portugal, which motivated the rescEU proposal. The prevention and response capacity of the countries most affected by these phenomena is often fragile or insufficient and it is therefore essential and crucial that these Member States, such as Portugal (not participating in the transition phase), Spain, Italy or Greece, are included in the transition phases of the Union Mechanism in order to improve their capacities of prevention, preparedness and response to disasters.
