Triples with object I voted in favour of this report because I agree that, in respect of the general budget of the European Union for the 2010 financial year, the European Union Solidarity Fund should be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 66 891 540 in commitment and payment appropriations in order to address the applications made by: Portugal to mobilise the fund in response to a disaster caused by landslides and flooding on Madeira Island; and France to mobilise the fund with regard to a disaster caused by storm Xynthia.
