lpv:translated text	"Unfortunately we must – with increasing frequency – face the fact that the countries of Europe, and especially Central Europe, are stricken by floods as a result of climate changes and cruel deforestations. This is happening as we speak. A tremendous fight against the floods is taking place along the Danube, mostly in Romania, and along the Tisza in Hungary and in the northern part of Serbia, in Vojvodina. The waters have already demolished the flood defences in many areas. I am extremely pleased that the European Union created the Solidarity Fund a few years ago, and is using it. I think that the situation currently developing in my constituency, Southern Hungary, and especially in the neighbouring countries, may require the use of this Solidarity Fund. I ask the Council to show flexibility in respect of the utilisation of the assistance, in accordance with the approach of the Commission. This would enable the affected regions – including candidate and associate states – to actually perceive the fact that Europe helps. In the Flood Directive under preparation, the European Union should undertake a larger share in alleviating the risk burdens of Member States, giving special consideration to cooperation with third countries. And this, too, is now a current issue. I would also call attention to the fact that farmers should receive the direct assistance in the event of flooding. Furthermore, if in the course of flood defence procedures their land must be withdrawn from cultivation, they should still keep their entitlement to assistance."@en1
