lpv:translated text	"This report provides for the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) for Spain and Italy. Spain has requested aid from the EUSF for the damage caused by the earthquake in the region of Murcia in May 2011. The town of Lorca was hit by two consecutive earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.2, killing nine people and injuring some 300. A further 10 000 people were evacuated and there was also a significant amount of material damage caused. Italy requested support from the EUSF following the torrential rain that took place in October and November 2010 in the Veneto region in North-East Italy. The effects of the heavy rainfalls were exacerbated by the warm wind characteristic of the Mediterranean, which melted the snow on the nearby mountains. The disaster caused significant damage to road networks, to infrastructure, to the agricultural sector, to businesses and to private residences. Naturally, we are voting for the mobilisation of the EUSF, which is fully justified given the extent of the aforementioned damage. We are bound to reiterate, once again, the importance of setting out an appropriate disaster prevention framework, and we can only regret the European Commission’s delay in implementing the recommendations of the report adopted by Parliament in September 2010 on this same issue, for which I was rapporteur."@en1
