Miškų gaisrai: ES mobilizuoja lėktuvus Turkijai paremti

On 1 August, Turkey, ravaged by unprecedented forest fires, activated the EU Civil Protection Mechansim. In an immediate response, the European Commission has already helped mobilize one Canadair plane from Croatia and two Canadairs from Spain. These firefighting aeroplanes are part of rescEU, the European reserve of civil protection assets.

Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič said: "The EU stands in full solidarity with Turkey at this very difficult time. I thank all the countries which have offered help. Our thoughts are with the Turkish people who have lost their loved ones and with the brave first responders who are doing their best to battle the deadly fires. We stand ready to provide further assistance."

Europos Sąjungos 24/7 Emergency Response koordinacinis centras is in regular contact with the Turkish authorities to closely monitor the situation and channe the EU assistance.

The EU Civil Protection Mechanism strengthens co-operation between the EU member states and six participating states in the field of civil protection, with a view to improve prevention, preparedness and response to disasters. When the scale of an emergency overwhelms the response capabilities of a country, it can request assistance via the Mechanism.
