Decision (EU) 2017/340 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund to provide assistance to Germany article 0 CELEX: 32017D0340 (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) On 19 August 2016, Germany submitted an application to mobilise the Fund, following a series of extremely intense, short-lived cases of floods that affected the region of Niederbayern in May and June 2016. (4) The application by Germany meets the conditions for providing a financial contribution from the Fund, as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002. (5) The Fund should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution to Germany. (6) In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the Fund, this Decision should apply from the date of its adoption, |
