"In October 2011, Italy was hit by extremely violent rains. The equivalent of six months’ precipitation fell on Tuscany and Liguria within the space of a few hours, causing unprecedented flooding. Significant material damage was caused by the water, landslides and mudslides: houses were wrecked, water mains destroyed, electricity and telephone lines cut off, roads and motorways damaged, and so on. The Italian authorities have estimated the total cost of the direct damage at EUR 722.5 million, and have submitted an application for aid from the EU Solidarity Fund. With the adoption of this resolution, which I supported, we are approving funding in the region of EUR 18 million with a view to helping to repair the damage caused by these floods and, in particular, to enable the rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, such as water, gas and electricity supplies. The living conditions of the citizens in these regions will thus be returned to normal and economic activity, such as tourism, will be able to resume."@en1
