lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the mobilisation of the European Solidarity Fund. I believe, in fact, that the fund is a valuable tool for enabling the European Union to show solidarity with the populations of regions affected by natural disasters, by providing financial support to help ensure a swift return to normal living conditions. The application approved during today’s vote was made by Ireland, and it concerns the heavy rain that caused severe flooding in November 2009. The flooding caused severe damage to the agricultural sector, residential properties and businesses, the road network and other infrastructure. The Irish authorities estimate the total direct damage caused by the disaster at EUR 520.9 million. Although this is below the threshold provided for by the regulation, the Commission examined the application on the basis of the so-called ‘extraordinary regional disaster’ criterion. Under this criterion, a region can benefit from assistance from the fund where that region has been affected by a natural disaster, mainly a natural one, affecting the majority of its population, with serious and lasting repercussions for living conditions and the economic stability of the region. Lastly, I would add that the fund has been mobilised for a total amount of EUR 13 022 500."@en1
