lpv:translated text	"The Commission has proposed mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund in favour of Spain and Italy. Spain applied for assistance from the Solidarity Fund for damage caused by the earthquake in Murcia on 11 May 2011. The town of Lorca was hit by two consecutive earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.2, which killed nine people and injured around 300. The disaster caused widespread damage to residential homes, businesses, public buildings, cultural heritage sites, the road network and basic infrastructure. Under the terms of Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002, the disaster therefore qualifies as an extraordinary regional disaster and falls within the main field of application of the Solidarity Fund ‘under exceptional circumstances’. Italy, meanwhile, 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 the snow in the nearby mountains. The disaster caused significant damage to road and infrastructure networks, agriculture, businesses and residential homes. As laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002, the disaster qualifies for aid under the criteria for major natural disasters. After verifying that all applications comply with the eligibility criteria of Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002, the Commission proposed mobilising the Solidarity Fund in favour of Spain and Italy, and I welcome this proposal."@en1
