"The Commission is proposing a mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund for Spain and Italy on the basis of point 26 of the interinstitutional agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management. Spain has requested assistance from the Solidarity Fund as a result of the damage following the earthquake which, on 11 May 2011, affected the autonomous region of Murcia, and, in particular, the town of Lorca. Nine people died, 300 were injured, 10 000 were evacuated and approximately 30 000 people spent the first night on the streets. The catastrophe caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, public buildings, cultural heritage sites, the road network and basic infrastructure. The total direct damage is estimated at EUR 843 million. Italy applied for assistance from the Solidarity Fund following torrential rainfall from 31 October to 2 November 2010 in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy. The effects of the heavy rainfall were aggravated by a warm Mediterranean wind that melted snow in the nearby mountains. The disaster caused significant damage to road and infrastructure networks, agriculture, businesses and homes estimated at EUR 3.717 billion. After verifying that all applications submitted comply with the eligibility criteria of Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002, the Commission proposed to mobilise the Solidarity Fund for an amount of EUR 21 070 950 for Spain and EUR 16 908 925 for Italy."@en1
