"We voted for this report. The decision by Parliament and the Council to mobilise the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) for the populations of Liguria and Tuscany, regions affected by the disaster caused by flooding in October 2011, which caused severe damage to homes, businesses and agriculture and the disruption of major transport links and essential public infrastructure networks, is entirely justified and clearly in line with EUSF objectives. The total damage directly caused by the flooding has been estimated at EUR 722.5 million, and the eligibility criteria for EUSF mobilisation have been verified. The Commission, upon receiving the request for assistance, made provision for aid based on 2.5% of the estimated cost: EUR 18 061 682. As such, there is also a proposal to redeploy this sum in payment appropriations from the budget line established for EUSF mobilisation. Once again, we must draw attention to the excessive delays between the occurrence of the disaster, the decision to mobilise the EUSF and the actual delivery of EU support to the Member States and regions affected. That is why we have been advocating the need to adapt the rules for EUSF mobilisation, so as to make it more flexible and timely."@en1
