Don't deny us EU help for flooding MEPs plea
Despite being told that the EU that they can help the areas damaged by flooding, the government are refusing to ask. So the Yorkshire MEPs have asked the minister to take action. We see nothing from the UKIP MEPs who joined forces with Polish extremists so they could claim more money from the EU.The letter;
Dear
Minister,
Dear
Robert,
EU Solidarity Fund: Support
to tackle flooding
Happy New Year. We hope you are keeping
well, despite the bad start to the year in terms of flooding in our region.
It is about the latter that we are writing and in particular a potential
UK government application for the EU Solidarity Fund to help meet some of the
costs of repairing damage from the floods in Yorkshire.
We know that this issue has been raised with
the Government and press reports from just after Christmas suggested that the
government was "open minded" about applying. We also understand
that Commission officials have indicated that the UK would be eligible and that
funds are available. We would therefore urge you to apply and make best
use of the funding available.
Thank you for looking into this and for keeping
us informed of the government´s intentions.
Yours
sincerely
Linda
McAvan MEP and Richard Corbett MEP
