"I voted in favour of this report in order to grant financial assistance to Greece and Bulgaria following the natural disasters both Member States suffered in early 2015. In reference to Bulgaria, severe winter conditions such as heavy rainfall, snow and landslides caused an estimated EUR 243 305 million in damages according to Bulgarian authorities. These events caused considerable damage to public infrastructure, such as dykes, communication networks and roads, as well as businesses, private homes and assets (over 300 buildings in the city of Burgas alone were flooded), and harm to the agricultural sector and forests. In respect to Greece widespread flooding in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace in early February 2015 caused damage to essential infrastructure, public buildings, private homes, businesses and in Greek agriculture, destroying farming infrastructure, warehouses and crops. Water supplies and sewage infrastructure were damaged in 17 settlements. In parallel, major parts of central and western Greece were hit by another series of floods causing even greater damage, resulting in power failures, the isolation of a number of mountainous settlements and the destruction of some of Greece’s cultural heritage assets."@en1
