"Wales has been badly hit by the extreme weather in recent months, particularly the coastal areas. I have seen this for myself in Tenby, Aberystwyth and Barmouth in the past weeks and heard from local councillors of the long-term implications for the economy and the environment. Local authorities have responded effectively as far as they are able. Since the first storms I have been asking the Welsh Government to explore every possible option to help communities recover and rebuild, including the EU Solidarity Fund. The aim of the EUSF is to help respond quickly to natural disasters, so this is the right time for the UK Government to apply to the EU for this emergency funding. Unfortunately the UK, as the Member State government, has to make the application. At the same time the Welsh Government must to do all in its power to persuade the UK to apply. This is much bigger than pro- or anti-EU feelings. It is about putting people and communities first. I believe in making Europe work for Wales, and there is no better way of doing that than by offering support at this time of crisis. That is what real European solidarity means."@en1
