DECISION (EU) 2020/1076 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 June 2020
on the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund to provide assistance to Portugal, Spain, Italy and Austria
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002 of 11 November 2002 establishing the European Union Solidarity Fund (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (2), and in particular point 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(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 natural disasters. |
(2) |
The Fund is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 500 000 000 (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 10 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (3). |
(3) |
On 8 November 2019, Portugal submitted an application to mobilise the Fund, following extreme weather events in Azores. |
(4) |
On 28 November 2019, Spain submitted an application to mobilise the Fund, following extreme rainfall resulting in flooding in the regions of Valencia, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia. |
(5) |
On 10 January 2020, Italy submitted an application to mobilise the Fund, following extreme weather events in 17 regions in the autumn of 2019. |
(6) |
On 29 January 2020, Austria submitted application to mobilise the Fund, following extreme weather events in November 2019. |
(7) |
The applications by Portugal, Spain, Italy and Austria meet the conditions for providing a financial contribution from the Fund, as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002. |
(8) |
The Fund should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution to Portugal, Spain, Italy and Austria. |
(9) |
In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the Fund, this Decision should apply from the date of its adoption, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
