"Firstly, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report and welcome the mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund for the earthquakes in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, which in May 2012 caused the deaths of 27 people, injury to 350 people, and the evacuation of more than 45 000 residents from the area. At the same time, considerable damage was caused to basic infrastructure, businesses, agriculture and cultural heritage. The priority from now on is to restore normal living conditions as quickly as possible for those who were affected by the earthquakes, and to ensure the rapid recovery of economic activity in that area. The EU Solidarity Fund is once again proving its importance in responding to major natural disasters by providing financial aid to the countries affected. However, I can only express my regret that it took six months to complete the process of mobilising the Fund. The three institutional bodies must therefore work to ensure that interventions by the Solidarity Fund become quicker and more flexible. In this way, we will be able to ensure the real added value of this instrument."@en1
