MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Commission’s call to Europeans to ‘prepare a stockpile of supplies for 72 hours’ – E-001449/2025

Question for written answer  E-001449/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Erik Kaliňák (NI)

On 26 March 2025, the Commission issued a recommendation for Europeans to stockpile enough food and other essentials to sustain them for 72 hours as part of its crisis preparedness strategy. This vague and alarming statement raises serious questions. Citizens are not guinea pigs – they deserve the truth and solutions.

• 1.On what basis was the 72-hour period set?
• 2.What specific threats has the Commission identified that require such a measure?
• 3.Why is the Commission silent on the details of the risks, leaving citizens facing uncertainty rather than providing clear facts?
