Paragraph 3
3. Stresses the importance of developing relief asset pre-positioning capacities in order to improve the speed at which humanitarian organisations respond to disasters; notes that the development of depots/hubs reflects the effectiveness of this approach in terms of speed, quality and cost efficiency, and calls on the Commission to continue to provide financial support in this field; in this respect, endorses the recommendations of the Barnier report of 2006 that the EU’s outermost regions and overseas countries and territories should be used, on a non- exclusive basis, as support stations to facilitate the pre-positioning of vital products and logistics, thus making it easier to deploy European human and material resources in the event of an urgent humanitarian intervention outside the EU;
