"The flooding in Liguria and Tuscany in Italy in October 2011 hit these regions badly, caused severe damage to residential homes, businesses and agriculture, and disrupted major transport links and essential public infrastructure networks. According to the Italian authorities’ calculations, the total direct damage caused by the flooding amounts to approximately EUR 722.5 million. I welcomed the allocation of EUR 18 061 682 in financial assistance from the EU Solidarity Fund, which would help mitigate the effects of the flooding. I believe that in future, the EU must respond more quickly and effectively by allocating assistance to Member States affected by natural catastrophes, and I therefore agree with the review of the principles on the coordination of the distribution and the allocation of the EU Solidarity Fund."@en1
