Parliament asks the Commission for the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund to be applied with flexibility, facilitating its implementation in order to tackle the serious damage caused by fires, bearing in mind that the damage affects the way of life of the population, especially in the less prosperous regions that have to cope with the adverse effects on infrastructure, economic potential, employment, the natural and cultural heritage, the environment and tourism, which all have an adverse effect on economic and social cohesion.
