"I voted for the report on Draft amending budget (DAB) No 5/2012, for mobilisation of the Solidarity Fund following the earthquakes in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, and modification of the budget line for the preparatory action for the European Year of Volunteering 2011. I regret that during the conciliation period the Council sought to include this particular amending budget in the negotiation package for the EU budget for 2013. By doing this, it caused unjustifiable delay in mobilising the Solidarity Fund which is associated with the amending budget, and consequently delayed the provision of immediate relief to residents in the earthquake-stricken region. It was only the stance maintained by the European Parliament – which insisted on not making mobilisation of the fund conditional upon the outcome of negotiations on the EU’s 2013 budget – that led the Council to approve DAB 5, and it only did so after the negotiations on the 2013 budget had reached a deadlock. This is incontestable proof of the responsible attitude maintained by the European Parliament, but it raises the question of why the Council insisted on including DAB No 5 in the negotiations on the 2013 budget."@en1
