Commissioner, in its 2004 report, the European Environment Agency stated that the temperature in Europe had increased by one degree above the average for the rest of the world. Has the Commission looked into the establishment of a European Drought Monitoring Centre?
Another consequence of the drought is the devastating fires. Has the Commission looked into any financial aid for preventing fires and alleviating their effects in the rural areas in question?
