Domnule preşedinte, doamnelor şi domnilor, câteva regiuni europene au fost lovite de fenomene meteorologice excepţionale care au generat uriaşe pagube materiale, economice, agrare şi de mediu şi au cauzat, din nefericire, prea multe pierderi de vieţi omeneşti.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, several European regions have been hit by some exceptional natural meteorological phenomena, which have resulted in huge material, economic, agricultural and environmental damage, and have sadly claimed too many human lives.
