"Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) risks present a new dimension of possible terrorist attacks, accidents, natural disasters or pandemics. An appropriate response against such a danger does not start with aftermath intervention programmes but with the strict storage, access and control of such materials," highlighted Ágnes Hankiss, Shadow Rapporteur, after the adoption of a report on strengthening EU-level cooperation on specific hazardous materials.According to MEP Hankiss, aftermath intervention demands multi-dimensional cooperation among different national authorities (civil protection, military, law enforcement) in Member States, as well as among Member States and EU bodies. "In many cases the CBRN hazard knows no borders: it is obvious that coordination shall be elevated to EU-level supervision," she concluded.Agerpres, Mediafax, Romanian Vancouver Sun,Global News, Financial Times,Le Monde,Tribune, ,Wall Street Journal,The Washington Times,Athens News,The New York Times,USA Today
