The European Parliament has overwhelmingly supported the European Commission's proposal to provide financial assistance to countries affected by the extreme floods in September and October 2024. Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive a total of €280.7 million from the European Solidarity Fund. The aim is to support the reconstruction of infrastructure, provide temporary accommodation, protect cultural monuments and cover the costs of damage repair.

The Czech Republic (114 million), Poland (76 million) and Austria (42.8 million) will receive the largest amounts. Smaller but symbolically important aid is also going to Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are partner or candidate countries.

At the same time, the European Parliament expressed its solidarity with the victims and recalled the need to strengthen preventive policies on climate change. In view of the increasing number of natural disasters, MEPs called for an increase in the Fund's budget under the EU's next multiannual financial framework.
