The Mayor said that the Consistory Municipal been working on this idea for weeks.
Francisco Jodar has indicated that the full rehabilitation of areas damaged by earthquakes has also been suggested by officials of the European Union during the mission work that has developed this week.
The mayor has said that this mission brings "a good impression, and which has proved very useful in clarifying how we do things and what procedures we follow to obtain EU funding to rebuild our town. The meetings I have with EU officials have served to make them get what is Lorca and extent of the damage caused by earthquakes. Now the EU has to face the records and know first hand the magnitude of this tragedy. From this moment have direct access to the EU. In fact it is they who have advised us in advance we refer to the documentation, its necessary, have the opportunity to complete it. In this sense, we want the final decision on the record that we are preparing access to the solidarity fund is taken in September. We're talking high rigid procedures and bureaucracy, which can not fail.
The mayor reported that this mission has also helped to know that there are other funds of the EU you can get funding for the reconstruction of the municipality, as is the case of cohesion funds and the reallocation of the ERDF.
Francisco Jodar noted, in this sense, the EU also provides financial aid to fund buildings that meet the criteria of accessibility, communications and energy, so these funds can also serve Lorca.
The mayor considered "reasonable" to extend the deadline for grant applications
Francisco Jodar said that in recent weeks are showing damage to buildings that had not been detected previously.
That is why we consider it reasonable to extend the deadline for submission of applications for assistance for the rehabilitation of both houses to finance the construction demolition and debris removal.
This is a move in the general interest of Lorca and common sense.
Those who now have these applications must have the same treatment and opportunities as before.
In this sense, the Local Government of the City of our city approved a motion calling for the indefinite extension of this deadline, given the special circumstances presented by the case of Lorca.
