"Mr President, firstly I would like to express my solidarity and condolences to France and Portugal, particularly to La Rochelle and Madeira; secondly, may I express my solidarity with my own country, particularly Andalusia and the Canary Islands, which have been affected by these major storms. However, I must make a severe criticism of the European Union Solidarity Fund.
The Solidarity Fund is obsolete and has not taken account of this Parliament’s resolution of 2006. It no longer has any value whatsoever. The figures given – 0.6% of GDP and EUR 3 billion – do not correspond to what this situation demands, for this is no longer just an emergency but also a reconstruction effort. We have faith in the Spanish Presidency and we therefore call on it to provide the impetus needed to reform the Solidarity Fund."@en1
