Added: (1a) The current Union Mechanism has demonstrated its effectiveness, in particular during the summer of 2026, when numerous wildfires affected various European countries. This Regulation should therefore preserve the core function and the exclusive civilian character of the Union Mechanism in support of Member States’ primary responsibility. New tasks and objectives should be limited to what is necessary for that purpose, should not divert financial or operational resources from it, and should remain strictly within the limits of the Union’s supporting competence.
