table>(1)The European Union Solidarity Fund (‘the Fund’) aims to enable the Union to respond in a rapid, efficient and flexible manner to emergency situations in order to show solidarity with the population of regions struck by major or regional natural disasters or major public health emergency.
(2)The Fund is not to exceed the ceilings as laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093, as amended by Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/765 (4).

(3)On 20 August 2024, Germany submitted an application to mobilise the Fund following the floods in Southern Germany in May and June 2024.

(4)On 20 September 2024, Italy submitted an application to mobilise the Fund following the floods in the Autonomous Region of Valle d’Aosta of Italy on 29 June 2024.

(5)The above mentioned applications meet the conditions for providing a financial contribution from the Fund, as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002.

(6)The Fund should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution to Germany and Italy.
