"In October 2011, Italy submitted an application for assistance with the damage in the regions of Liguria and Tuscany caused by the flooding which severely damaged residential homes, businesses and agriculture, and which disrupted major transport links, thereby damaging essential public infrastructure. This application is a matter of common interest and is raising awareness across the entire European Union. The total direct damage caused by the flooding, as estimated by the Italian authorities, amounts to EUR 722.5 million. The disaster has been qualified as of natural origin and therefore falls within the field of application of the Solidarity Fund. The Commission has proposed mobilising the EU Solidarity Fund for a total amount of EUR 18 061 682 in commitment and payment appropriations. Today, I voted in favour in the hope that these funds will be granted as quickly as possible in order to respect the commitments made previously, and to overcome and resolve the severe difficulties still being faced in the above regions."@en1
