"I voted in favour of the reports by Mr Fernandes. Following the flooding in Liguria and Tuscany, Italy applied to the European Union for assistance. The disaster, being of natural origin, falls within the scope of the Solidarity Fund. I would point out that this fund should intervene mainly in cases of major natural disasters with serious repercussions on living conditions, the environment or the economy in one or more regions of a Member State. Conditions in the affected areas were made worse, as always happens in these cases, owing to the tragic loss of human life, the high number of injured people, the families who lost everything and severe damage to residential homes, businesses, agriculture, transport and infrastructure. Therefore, deploying in these regions the EUR 18 million granted from the fund will help our fellow citizens regain the peace of mind which, unfortunately, they have lost. Lastly, allow me to praise the Italian Civil Protection volunteers who, during those weeks, demonstrated professionalism and humanity, just as they have done in recent days in Emilia-Romagna and in Lombardy, and always have done in the past."@en1
