"The European Union created the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) to demonstrate its solidarity with the populations of disaster-hit regions. The EUSF mainly intervenes in major natural disasters with serious repercussions on people’s living conditions, on the environment or on the economy of one or more regions of a Member State, or of a candidate country for EU accession.
Under exceptional circumstances, the EUSF can also be mobilised for disasters considered ‘regional’: when a region is affected by a disaster that causes damage affecting the majority of its population, and which has serious and prolonged repercussions on people’s living conditions and economic stability. Italy has submitted an application for EUSF mobilisation due to the disaster caused by flooding in Liguria and Tuscany, which caused severe damage to homes, businesses in the agricultural sector and disruption to major transport links and essential public infrastructure networks. The application meets all the eligibility criteria set out in Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002. As such, I voted for the mobilisation of EUR 18 061 682 for Italy."@en1
