lpv:translated text	"Obviously, I have supported the setting up of this Fund, which expresses the solidarity of the entire European Union in light of major natural disasters that have taken place in various Member States. I have also supported most of the positions adopted by the rapporteur. In this brief explanation of vote, however, what I wish to highlight is that it was our colleague, Franz Turchi, from the UEN Group, who had already tabled a proposal to this effect two years ago, which was regrettably not given a favourable response. It took two further years without action and specifically, the serious floods that took place in August in Germany, Austria and in some candidate countries, to persuade the European Union to close a legislative loophole that was preventing the Community institutions from intervening in terms of providing financial assistance for the European communities that have suffered major natural disasters, a scourge that appears to be taking place with increasing frequency. I suppose we could say ‘better late than never’."@en1
