"In May 2012, Italy suffered a great tragedy, which requires us to take the necessary action to offer assistance and solidarity. We cannot ignore the problems of this Member State, which is having to contend with the effects of a powerful earthquake. It is clear that Italy’s application for assistance must be granted a favourable response and it is essential that the European Union Solidarity Fund be mobilised. Many now no longer have a roof over their heads, but we should also remember that the earthquake hit a particularly industrialised region that generates the largest share of Italy’s GDP. Northern Italy will be dealing with the consequences of this natural disaster for a long time to come. It affects the country’s overall economy, which means that the EU will also suffer. I therefore hope that the proposed assistance of more than EUR 670 million will help to repair the damage caused, both to agriculture and infrastructure and to other important sectors in Italy, and, accordingly, to our European economy as a whole."@en1
