"As on other occasions, following natural disasters of huge proportions causing significant damage and loss likely to have a lasting impact on the lives of those affected, we approved the decision of the European Parliament and of the Council to mobilise the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF). This particular case concerned assistance for the people of the Emilia-Romagna region, 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. Although this mobilisation has been quicker than on previous occasions, 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. This is one reason, among others, why we have been calling for the Regulation on the EUSF to be amended. We again repeat the need for this amendment."@en1
