Question for written answer E-001363/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Fredis Beleris (PPE)
The revision of the European Union’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027 is expected to take place in the coming months. Following the devastating floods – once again in Greece and with the Cyclades islands at the centre – infrastructure and social services are being tested. The European Council agreed to increase the budget by EUR 64.6 billion for the period 2021-2027, of which EUR 1.5 billion is for the Solidarity and Emergency Aid Reserve (SEAR).
Overall, the revision of the MFF reflects the EU’s adaptability to new challenges, ensuring adequate funding for critical areas and strengthening solidarity between Member States. However, the natural disasters faced by Greece make the need for this debate even more urgent.
In light of the above:
- 1.Will the Commission proceed with a further increase in funds for the prevention of natural disasters and the preparation of local and regional authorities for them?
- 2.Will there be a targeted priority axis for the needs of island regions?
- 3.Does the Commission intend to provide financial support for existing and future technical studies by local and regional authorities that urgently need it?
