Sandra Gómez López (S&D), Leire Pajín (S&D)

The recent DANA (high-altitude isolated depression) has caused serious damage in Spain, especially in the Autonomous Community of Valencia. A swift and effective response is essential to ensure that EU funding is received as soon as possible and to facilitate sustainable and resilient reconstruction.

In view of the above:

• 1.What measures is the Commission taking to speed up the delivery of EU funds after natural disasters, such as the recent DANA in Spain, or is it looking into other additional funding mechanisms?
• 2.Does it intend to make it easier for autonomous communities and local authorities to access EU funds in an emergency?
• 3.Does it plan to strengthen climate adaptation programmes in high-risk regions to make them more resilient to extreme phenomena?
