lpv:translated text	"Mr President, solidarity is the European Union’s most important and finest principle. Without it there can be no question of joint action by independent states and nations. The creation of the European Union Solidarity Fund followed naturally from this principle. For the time being we have EUR 1 billion available annually. That is not a large sum, especially as last year, and this year too, we have had to face an increase in climatic disasters. We have been hit not only by floods and hurricanes, but by fires of unexpected magnitude. With our limited means we are able so far to make only a small amount of help available – 3% or 4% of the losses incurred, or even less. That is why, while supporting Mr Böge’s report and Mr Virrankoski’s draft amending budget, I also conclude that the resources of the Solidarity Fund need to be gradually increased. Two euros per citizen will not suffice to wipe away the tears when such enormous losses are incurred."@en1
