"I voted for the report drafted by Ms Balzani on the mobilisation of the amount of EUR 18 061 682 in commitment and payment appropriations from the EU Solidarity Fund for Liguria and Tuscany because I feel that we need to focus our attention on the damage caused by disasters and, at the same time, express our solidarity with the affected regions. We should also think about the victims of these disasters, for whom nothing more can be done at present. Therefore, I express my sympathy for the families who have suffered irrecoverable losses.
The European Union must intervene to mitigate the effects of major natural disasters which have caused substantial damage to residential homes, businesses and agriculture, as well as disruption to major transport links and vital public infrastructure networks in the Liguria and Tuscany regions. I would like to highlight how important it is to increase the fund’s ability to respond so that financial assistance is made available to the states affected by disasters much more quickly. Local, regional and national authorities also have a particularly important role to play in this respect. They need to improve the methods for coordinating applications for the Solidarity Fund."@en1
