"The Italian region of Emilia-Romagna was struck by a series of devastating earthquakes. Italy then applied for mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF). The EUSF was set up precisely to provide help for European citizens affected by natural disasters. I therefore voted in favour of this report to ensure that the fund would serve the purpose for which it was created. This will allow Emilia-Romagna to recover both economically and socially. The region is in real need of external assistance and I am sure that any assistance that is released will be well spent. Within a few weeks, EUR 670 million will be released in assistance to the region, and the money will be used to finance rebuilding of the electricity network and infrastructure. This is certainly an important step towards relaunching the local economy, which in turn has always played a crucial role in Italian industry. I am glad that initial reservations have been overcome and that a strong message of solidarity between the Member States can be sent."@en1
