AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on the proposed law to set up the Regional Emergency Support to Reconstruction (RESTORE), which amends rules on EU funds to help member states recover from natural disasters.
The law aims to support reconstruction and provide basic material assistance to affected citizens, following floods and wildfires in several EU countries in September 2024.
Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and to forward the position to the Council and national parliaments.

Parliament's amended version of the proposed RESTORE regulation supports reconstruction after natural disasters by amending the ERDF and ESF+ rules, adding flexibility and funding.
