lpv:translated text	". At first reading, I concluded my contribution with the words: 'I am pinning my hopes on the Council's good judgment'. I can see that I have not been completely let down in this. The Interinstitutional Agreement that is now before us is clearly better defined than the draft in Parliament. I should like to illustrate this with three points. The first one is the Interinstitutional Agreement's scope. This is largely confined to major natural disasters, with good reason. In the case of disasters of other types, those responsible will be held liable. The second point concerns the threshold values. The raised threshold focuses the scheme on major disasters and holds out the prospect of this resulting in substantial aid to selected regions. Thirdly, with regard to the exemption options, the 7.5% limit ensures that the lion's share of the Fund reaches its actual goal. The Commission has now made the first proposal for granting aid from this Fund. I hope that as these aid applications are dealt with, it will become clear that the Solidarity Fund functions as a supplement to national measures, both in terms of prevention and correction. The current situation will then improve on all fronts, with regard to both the affected states and longer-term mutual solidarity. This is why we have endorsed the Interinstitutional Agreement, albeit with reservations."@en1
