The aim of the Regional Emergency Support to Reconstruction, RESTORE is to assist Member States affected by natural disasters. It is purposed to provide additional, effective support and further flexibility to support reconstruction operations for Member States, regions and local authorities severely affected by natural disasters through the use of the ERDF. It is also aimed to grant flexibility for Member States in the implementation of the ESF+ to be able to provide immediate food and basic material assistance to people directly affected by natural disasters, as well as short-time work scheme for employees and self-employed. The new measures will apply from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025. This regulation shows the commitment of the European Parliament to quickly react and address the severe natural disasters that affected several EU Member States in 2024. I voted in favour.
