The increasing integrity of the European Union member states is more and more regarding the security and civil protection aspects. On the other hand the priority in responsibility for the safety and security is still in the domain of the sovereign states. It means that the individual states of the EU are responsible for designing and managing their own security and civil protection systems. However, the integration processes within the EU trigger a significant need for an increase of common understanding of the individual member states’ philosophies, approaches and systems utilized in the domain of security and civil protection. Only then if we understand how the others work, we are able to assist them in a crisis or disaster. Therefore, it is highly important to share and understand each other’s systems between member states. The article presents the Dutch approach to national risk assessment as well as organizational aspects of internal security system applied in the Netherlands. It also suggest the future challenges which are at the near horizon of the system development.

Technical Requirements

Among the technical means intended for transportation of fire extinguishing substances to the fire center, the main role is definitely played by delivery fire hoses. At present, the Civil Protection Rescue Service units use mainly pressure fire hoses type "T" (for fire-rescue vehicles) with a diameter of  51 mm and 77 mm, the technical condition of which often does not meet the established requirements, which may not withstand the pressure developing pumps, even traditionally used fire-rescue vehicles during firefighting. The use of such hoses in extinguishing real fires can lead to limited opportunities, reduce the effectiveness of operational and tactical actions of the Civil Protection Rescue Service units, as well as expose personnel to danger. The requirements of the State Standard of Ukraine 2273:2006 in Ukraine are outdated and do not meet the practical needs of today. Given the fact that in the leading countries of the world there are new types of fire hoses and technologies for their creation, as well as due to the fact that adopted in Ukraine State Standard of Ukraine EN 15889: 2017 does not apply to fire-fighting layflat delivery hoses for fire-rescue vehicles, the issue of developing a national standard for this type of fire hoses is relevant. In addition, the European normative document CEN / TR 16099 states that there is no single standard in the European Union that would establish technical requirements for "fire-fighting layflat delivery attack", ie those used with fire and rescue vehicle pumps. In EU countries, this issue is regulated by separate national standards of member states. Confirmation of this approach is the German national standard DIN 14811-2008 / A1-2012, A2-2014. The urgency of developing a national standard regulating the general technical requirements and test methods for fire-fighting layflat delivery hoses for fire-rescue vehicles is given. The modern approaches of the European Union to the establishment of technical requirements and methods for assessing the quality of such hoses are analyzed. The possibility of applying these approaches at the national level has been identified. .

The article describes the process of formation and development of the modern system of civil protection bodies, including fire safety authorities, on the basis of the analysis of the administrative legislation of Ukraine. An analysis of the organization and activities of similar bodies of the European Union countries for the prevention of emergencies and the elimination of their negative consequences has been carried out. It is suggested to take into account the positive experience of their structural construction and administrative and legal regulation of activity in the legislation of Ukraine.

The Cold War

After the Cold War civil defense was transformed into civil protection. This part of the state structure moved from the armed forces in the civilian sector. There are two reasons. First, direct threat of nuclear war stopped. Second, major natural disasters caused by climate changes. Today?s civil protection is organized in order to protect life and property in the event of disasters caused by nature or man. The European Union is due to the problems that arise when disasters appear start a process aimed at higher efficiency of civil protection in the Member States, but also the formation of a joint civil protection system on its territory. A key reason for the formation of a joint civil protection system is a phenomenon that disaster in one country causes consequences in several neighbouring countries. This is why the framework of modernization of the European Union Civil Protection includes non-member states.
