"I voted for the resolution on the proposal for a decision on the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF), in accordance with point 26 of the interinstitutional agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management. Unfortunately, Europe is facing with ever-increasing frequency extreme phenomena such as drought, flooding, forest fires and earthquakes. The EU and Member States must show solidarity with those citizens living in the regions affected by natural disasters. The main instrument available to the EU for tackling these disasters is the EUSF, which supplements the budgets allocated by Member States for emergency measures such as the immediate restoration to working order of infrastructure and equipment in the energy, drinking water, waste water, transport, telecommunications, health and education sectors. Spain submitted an application for funding in the aftermath of an earthquake recorded in the Murcia region, with the damage amounting to EUR 842 838 000. Italy submitted an application for funding in the wake of the flooding in the Veneto region, with the damage amounting to EUR 676 357 000. I support the mobilisation of the EUSF for a total of EUR 37 979 875: EUR 21 070 950 for Spain and EUR 16 908 925 for Italy in commitment and payment appropriations."@en1
