The Commission is proposing amendments to three EU regulations to ensure that EU funds can be quickly mobilised in support of post-disaster recovery.
The amendments concern theRegulations governing the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF), and the European Social FundPlus (ESF+), for the 2021-2027 programming period.
These proposals come as a direct response to the floods affecting Central and Eastern European countries and wildfires in Portugal in September 2024 and include injecting liquidity with increased pre- and co-financing under Cohesion Policy.
In this opinion, the EESC calls for a sustainable EU Food Policy that supports farmers' incomes, protects food security and strengthens crisis management. Proposals include introducing tools and mechanism to strengthen the position of farmers and devising an EU-wide system of public insurance against natural disasters.
