"In recent weeks, two natural disasters of tragic proportions hit Europe and its Member States, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction and causing damage costing tens of thousands of euro.
We will not forget the dramatic images from Madeira at the end of February – which I watched with particular sadness, because it was a tragedy affecting an island that I know well – or the dramatic report of the path of Xynthia through several areas in Europe.
On this occasion, besides expressing my sincere concern for all those who were affected by these tragedies, I urge the Commission to act swiftly in the relief effort to the most affected regions. This must be done not only by mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund as urgently and flexibly as possible and with the greatest possible funding, but also by utilising all the instruments and mechanisms made available by the Cohesion Fund to assist the affected regions in overcoming this terrible tragedy.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my solidarity with all the efforts made by Madeira’s local authorities and its people."@en1
