lpv:translated text	"The European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) was created with the aim of assisting Member States affected by a crisis or struggling with damage caused by natural disasters. As such, I welcome its mobilisation, provided that funds are carefully monitored and controlled to ensure that the assistance reaches those affected. I voted in favour of this report, which provides for the mobilisation of EUR 670 192 359 from the EUSF in favour of the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, which was struck in May 2012 by two violent earthquakes which caused 27 deaths and 350 injuries and resulted in destruction leading to the evacuation of over 45 000 Italian citizens. Despite the difficulties in negotiating the budget and the widespread sense of financial restraint in the EU, I consider that there are some ‘expenses’, such as these, which cannot and should not be avoided. I would add that Europe’s citizens will have a better understanding and perception of the EU’s added value if a greater proportion of the budget is allocated to the EUSF and other funds supporting European citizens, instead of being channelled, for example, to Houses of European History or unnecessary trips to Strasbourg."@en1
