Memo: Solidarity with Japan: the assistance of the European Union following the triple disaster

When Japan was overwhelmed by an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear damage, the European Union was among the first to answer the call for assistance. The EU response was not only fast, but also efficient and coherent. Thanks to the quick and seamless coordination between Member States and the European Commission, the EU aid rapidly reached those in need in the prefectures around Fukushima.
