Triples with object UKIP abstained on this binding budgetary report. The EU Solidarity Fund is an EU fund used when there has been a natural disaster in an area of Europe. This specific proposal is to give Germany EUR 31 457 125 for floods in lower Bavaria where there was material destruction and loss of life. Although UKIP opposes the EU spending any British taxpayer’s money, as this is to do with a natural disaster we decided to abstain.
