Press conference by Johannes Hahn, Member of the EC, on the allocation of the EU Solidarity Fund for Emilia Romagna
Johannes Hahn, Member of the EC in charge of Regional Policy, gave a press conference to announce the Commission's proposal to allocate EUR 670 million to Italy following two severe consecutive earthquakes and hundreds of aftershocks in the region of Emilia-Romagna during May/June 2012, spreading out into the neighbouring regions of Veneto and Lombardy.
The aim of the support, the highest ever amount allocated from the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF), was to cover the huge costs of restoring essential infrastructure, providing shelter and rescue services as well as protecting the cultural heritage of the region.
