lpv:translated text	". The aim of this report is, amongst other things, to enter into the budget the EUR 48.5 million mobilised to assist Portugal in accordance with the provisions of the Solidarity Fund in the wake of the tragic forest fires which swept through Portugal this summer. The Solidarity Fund was mobilised quickly, and this amending budget was adopted in one single reading. That is very welcome, since it ensures more rapid assistance from the EU budget following the applications presented. The amount now approved, however, is clearly insufficient given the costs of the direct damages, more than EUR 1.3 billion, and, in particular, given the total costs of the eligible damages, around EUR 104.3 million. It should be remembered that when Commissioner Schreyer was questioned in the Committee on Budgets, she expressed her willingness to review the sums allocated to Portugal if the damage estimates were to rise. This would be done principally through an amending budget. The Commissioner has kept her word by issuing this amending budget once the Portuguese Government provided further information. It is now the government’s turn to assess the current situation as regards the consequences of the forest fires, taking particular account of the effects of the rains in the fire-affected areas."@en1
