"The floods which hit the regions of Liguria and Tuscany in 2011 took an alarming toll: nine people killed and ten missing. The losses suffered by the two regions have been estimated at over EUR 700 million, after over 330 million cubic metres of water fell during a period of less than six hours. This gigantic amount of rainfall and record breaking cloudburst resulted in the rivers in this part of Italy overflowing their banks. The villages and small towns which lie along these rivers were inundated by a tidal wave of water, mud and stones. An amending budget must be adopted for the Solidarity Fund as a result of this tragedy which hit the citizens of Italy. Natural disasters cause huge losses in the regions where they occur. I am aware that this assistance for Italy will not cover all of the losses suffered by the people living there. However, I hope that it will help in some way to reconstruct the infrastructure in these regions and to return to normal life."@en1
