"The present proposal on mobilisation of the European Solidarity Fund (ESF) states the need to provide aid to Ireland due to the floods of November 2009, which caused huge losses in the agricultural and industrial sector, in infrastructure, particularly roads and water supply, and in residential areas. In view of this, and recalling the disaster that struck the island of Madeira in February 2010 and the effects of the Xynthia windstorm on Europe, I welcome the Commission’s proposal to grant a total of EUR 13 022 500 in aid to Ireland, based on the ‘extraordinary regional disaster’ criterion. This criterion is used whenever it is shown that the damage caused has affected the majority of the region’s population and that it has had serious and lasting repercussions on living conditions and economic stability in the region in question. However, I would like to reiterate the need to review the current ESF system in order to make it swifter and more effective in mitigating the permanent effects of natural disasters."@en1
