lpv:translated text	"The announcement of the creation of a fund to compensate disaster victims is good news for the hundreds of thousands of victims of the appalling weather in Europe. We fully support the idea that the European Union can provide rapid and flexible supplementary assistance in the event of major disasters affecting the Member States. The EDD-CPNT members have for a long time, particularly with regard to the terrible weather in France (the storm of December 1999 and floods in the Somme of 2001), been calling for European solidarity to be expressed. We had therefore called for the old ‘natural disasters’ budget line to be re-established with sufficient resources, because we felt it was reasonable for the EU’s general budget to be used for this purpose. Instead, the Commission chose to embark on a huge public relations exercise. We regret the fact that we had to endure a particularly difficult summer and the suffering of many victims for Europe finally to decide to act. Despite the vagueness surrounding the practical implementation of this fund, especially with regard to its funding, we hope that the European institutions will act swiftly and pragmatically and demonstrate transparency in providing compensation to the victims."@en1
