"The European Commission must decide once and for all whether it wants to have a Solidarity Fund that responds to serious natural disasters and shows solidarity with those affected rapidly and promptly or whether it wants to indulge in some form of worthless public image exercise. We are dealing here with measures for European civil protection that require prompt provision of assistance to those in difficulty and the European Commission is not capable of releasing the financial assistance to help the earthquake victims of Emilia-Romagna.
The proposal to obtain funds through redeployment, from sources that currently amount to EUR 13 million is ridiculous and the Commission should be ashamed of it. I also wish to underline that the European Commission is currently deciding whether to demand that enterprises return the assistance they received for flooding in 1994 and paid out to them by the Italian government, without realising that this would mean certain bankruptcy. I think that the Commission should seriously rethink its position, because it seems to have no knowledge whatsoever of the problems that are being discussed here today, or what it means to be affected by natural disasters."@en1
