"This Draft amending budget aims to release the funds needed to support the people of the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, which was struck by a series of earthquakes in May 2012 that caused several deaths and serious damage to homes, factories, agricultural land and over 100 historically significant structures. The Commission has proposed assistance for an amount of EUR 670 192 359 in commitment and payment appropriations. It is therefore also proposed to enter this amount in the budget line created with a view to mobilising this fund. Although this mobilisation has been quicker than on previous occasions (when it took around a year to release the assistance), the fact is that there is still a significant and unjustified time lag between the disaster occurring and the EU assistance being released. In this case, the time lag was over six months. The Regulation on the European Union Solidarity Fund needs to be amended to ensure greater flexibility and quicker and more timely mobilisation. This assistance must now reach the people on the ground as quickly as possible. The report also proposes modifying the budget line intended for the preparatory action for the European Year of Volunteering 2011. We voted in favour."@en1
