lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund to provide much needed aid to Liguria and Tuscany following devastating floods. This fund is crucial for providing funding to areas which have suffered from natural disasters and other serious crises. However, for this fund to be successful in the future, and for funding to be granted promptly, we need to make its application simpler and more transparent. The unnecessary delay caused by the Commission seeking funding through negative reserves was completely avoidable, and this practice is completely unacceptable to me and the majority of Member States. Thankfully, the Danish Presidency presented a compromise in which the necessary funding was found from a reallocation of under-implemented lines in the European Energy Plan. Although this reallocation is a messy solution, it is preferable to using negative reserves. I hope this money will go some way towards relieving the suffering of those affected by the floods."@en1
