WRITTEN QUESTION P-3804/02 by Christos Folias (PPE-DE) to the Commission. Natural disasters.
Date: 2002-12-18
Institutions: European Parliament, Provisional data
Subjects: Greece, Structural Funds, aid to disaster victims, eligibility criteria, fund (EU), natural disaster, operational programme, rye, terms for aid, use of aid

C 161 E/146

Official Journal of the European Union

10.7.2003

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(10 February 2003)

To date, payments for Greece under Objective 1 in the 1994-1999 programming period account for 91 %
of commitments.

The Commission is sending the Honourable Member and the Parliament Secretariat a detailed table with
the information requested for each operational programme.

(2003/C 161 E/150)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3804/02

by Christos Folias (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(18 December 2002)

Subject: Natural disasters

A number of regions in western Greece were struck by a very powerful earthquake on 2 December 2002.
Houses and shops were very seriously damaged, goods were destroyed and economic activity, especially in
the Prefecture of Ilia, was disrupted.

Does this disaster meet the conditions and terms for the implementation of the new regulation setting up
the new fund for natural disasters?

Is the Greek Government able to obtain funds from the Regional Operational Fund to repair the damage?

What other measures could the Commission take or propose to this end?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(24 January 2003)

The main purpose of the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) is to grant emergency aid in the event of
major natural disasters having serious repercussions on living conditions, the natural environment or the
economy in one or more regions of the affected country. A ‘major disaster’ within the meaning of the
EUSF Regulation means a disaster resulting in damage estimated either at over EUR 3 billion in 2002
prices, or more than 0,6 % of the country’s gross national income (GNI).

Under exceptional circumstances a region can also benefit from assistance from the Fund, where that
region has been affected by an extraordinary disaster affecting the major part of its population with serious
and lasting repercussions on living conditions and the economic stability of the region.

The mobilisation of the EUSF requires the submission of an application to the Commission by the national
authorities within ten weeks of the date when the first damage occurred.

Furthermore, as regards the use of funds available within the regional programme concerned (ROP
Western Greece), it is up to the Greek authorities to decide whether they wish to use part of these funds to
deal with some of the damage caused by the earthquake to which the Honourable Member refers, subject
to the Regulations governing the implementation of the Structural Funds, and in particular the rules on
eligibility in force.
