France wants to set up a"cooperation mechanism" within the EU whereby countries could pool resources and know-how to better protect"European heritage," in light of the Notre Dame cathedral fire.
De Montchalin said Macron made the proposal"because our partners, who understand our emotion, wish to contribute by our side." De Montchalin said the idea would be similar to how EU countries currently may offer one another support if there is a disaster, for example lending fire-fighting planes in case of a fire. To protect historical sites, the EU could set up a network of experts that would be available to those in need, de Montchalin said.
