"Mr President, I would like to point out that we discussed this matter a few months ago. During that debate, important issues were raised. But, as the previous speaker mentioned, during the recess, my homeland of Poland was hit first by a serious drought and then by flooding. This disaster also affected my constituency of Lower Silesia. It is a problem which affects my country on an almost annual basis.
It is clear that droughts and fires affect mainly southern Europe and floods affect mainly northern Europe. It is also clear that we should, as the previous speakers have mentioned, make Solidarity Fund resources more flexible and define the bureaucracy to allocate these funds to the people and regions affected by disasters, and increase the funds earmarked for aid to these regions. This is because, for many of our citizens, the European Union is about providing real aid in the event of such disasters."@en1
