This is all stated in the report of the European Commission.

As noted, the money will help restore the usual flow of life in the central region.

At the same time, the European Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Cretu would like to express her sincere solidarity with the Portuguese people, as forest fires continue to devastate the country.

"I wanted to express our gratitude to those who are fighting fire in Portugal and other parts of Europe," Cretu added..

The European Commission also reported that 25 million euros will be used to restore the production capacity of local small businesses. In particular, repair the machines that were destroyed as a result of fires.

In addition, another 20 million euros can be invested in public services and the restoration of critical infrastructure facilities.

Recall, as previously reported "URA-Inform", in the area of ??the Donetsk plant of rubber-chemical products were burning warehouses. Presumably, the cause of ignition was the ignition of grass. At the same time, eyewitnesses suggest that warehouses with residues of octol and hexogen could burn on the DZRKhI.
