Investing in disaster prevention is crucial not only to save lives but also to mitigate economic losses. Proactive planning strengthens resilience to natural disasters and climate change impacts.

As a leader, I strongly believe that allocating more resources to prepare for rare but catastrophic disasters is essential. While these events may be rare, the impact they have on lives and communities is devastating. It is our responsibility to prioritize resilience and preparedness to protect our people and ensure rapid recovery.

I believe regulations play a crucial role in ensuring fairness, safety, and protecting the environment. Reducing them could lead to unintended consequences that might harm citizens and the planet. It's important for the EU to maintain standards that uphold social and economic justice.
