A visit by EU officials to assess how the European Union would respond to the emergency caused by successive volcanic eruptions. The mission was accompanied by the Governor Frank Savage. Highlights of the visit were a tour of Plymouth covered in volcanic ash and a helicopter ride to the top of the mountain. The EU contributed to housing for those displaced, and considered alternative sites for an airport.
