Parliament approves €104.2m in EU aid to Greece, Spain, France and Portugal - Hoofdinhoud
On Wednesday 30 May 2018, plenary gave its approval to the Commission's proposal to mobilise the EU Solidarity Fund for Greece, Spain, France and Portugal for a total amount of EUR 104,2 million following earthquakes, hurricanes or fires that affected those countries in 2017. Taking account of the advances already paid (EUR 6,5 million), the European Commission's accompanying Draft Amending Budget N°1/2018 proposes to enter EUR 97,6 million in the 2018 budget.
The file was prepared in the Committee on Budgets based on reports presented by Mr José Manuel Fernandes (EPP, PT) and Mr Siegfried Muresan (EPP, RO). Both rapporteurs recommended going ahead with the mobilisation as proposed by the Commission. The Committee on Budgets voted in favour on 16 May 2018.
