EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Commission proposes to mobilise the European Solidarity Fund in favour of Slovenia, Croatia and Austria on the basis of point 26 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006. The IIA allows the mobilisation of the Fund within the annual ceiling of EUR 1 billion. This is the first proposal to mobilise the Fund in 2013.
In parallel to this proposal to mobilise the Solidarity Fund in favour of Slovenia, Croatia and Austria, the Commission has presented a draft amending budget (DAB No 5/2013 of 2 May 2013) in order to enter in the 2013 budget the corresponding commitment and payment appropriations as foreseen in point 26 of the IIA.
Intense rainfall between the end of October and early November 2012 caused rivers to burst their banks flooding in wider areas of the rivers Sava, Kupa, Mura and Drava in Slovenia and in the basins of the rivers Mura, Drava and Lavant in Austria, as well as on the territory of Croatia. The floods caused damage to private and public buildings, water and waste water infrastructure, businesses and to agricultural land and forests. Subsequently, Slovenia submitted an application for financial assistance from the European Union Solidarity Fund under the major disaster criterion, whereby Croatia's and Austria's applications were submitted under the so-called 'neighbouring country criterion'. The Commission's analysis revealed that the flooding damage as presented in all three applications was caused by a single underlying meteorological condition and can therefore be accepted as a single event.
The total direct damage caused by the flooding, as estimated by the Slovenian, Croatian and Austrian authorities, amounts to EUR 359,535 million for Slovenia, EUR 11,463 million for Croatia and EUR 9,6 million for Austria. As regards Slovenia, the disaster qualifies as a “major natural disaster” in accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002. As regards Croatia and Austria the disaster has been qualified as "of natural origin". However, the disasters in both Croatia and Austria had the same origins as the flooding which led to the major disaster in Slovenia. Therefore, the condition set out in Article 2(2) second subparagraph of Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002, whereby a country affected by the same major disaster as a neighbouring country may exceptionally benefit from Solidarity Fund aid, was found to be met by the Commission.
After verifying that this application complies with the eligibility criteria of Council regulation (EC) N° 2012/2002 the Commission proposed to mobilise the EU solidarity Fund for a total amount of EUR 14 607 942.
This amount will leave at least 25% of the Fund available for allocation during the last quarter of the year, as required by Article 4(2) of EC Regulation 2012/2002.
On the basis of the applications for assistance from the Fund by Slovenia, Croatia and Austria, the calculation of Solidarity Fund aid based on the estimate of total damage caused is as follows:

In the light of the examination of the applications, and considering the maximum possible grant from the Fund as well as the scope for reallocating appropriations under the heading requiring additional expenditure, the Commission proposes to mobilise the European Union Solidarity Fund for a total amount of EUR 14 607 942, to be allocated under heading 3b of the financial framework.
With respect to the payment appropriations, the Commission in the proposal for DAB No 2 of 2013 left an unallocated margin of EUR 14,8 million under the 2013 ceiling for payments of the multi-annual financial framework, precisely to cover these known requests for the mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund.
According to point 26 of the IIA of 17 May 2006, when presenting this proposal to deploy the Fund, the Commission initiates the simplified trilogue procedure in view of securing the agreement of the two arms of the Budgetary Authority on the need to use the Fund and the amount required.
According to an internal agreement with the Committee on Regional Development Committee (REGI), this committee should be associated to the process, in order to provide constructive support and contribution to the implementation of the EU Solidarity Fund. Following the assessment of the requests, the REGI committee of the European Parliament gave their views on the mobilisation of the Fund, as expressed in the letter of opinion attached to the present report.
The Rapporteur recommends the approval of the Commission proposal for a decision annexed to this report.
