Early Warning Systems. The EMSC referred to the specific features of the European Warning System (EWS) that operated under the auspices of the Agreement. Substantial investment would be required to automate the current system with a view to the development of early-warning systems. The European Centre on Urban Risks (CERU) in Lisbon described its experience in the field of tsunamis. The ECNTRM in Moscow, the European Centre of Technological Safety (TESEC) in Kyiv and the ECTR in Yerevan also gave details of their activities and their proposals concerning the United Nations’ objectives. The Secretariat noted that several centres could be involved in the measures to be taken concerning the establishment of early-warning systems in the Euro-Mediterranean region and that the Agreement could offer support in connection with arranging projects.
