LH Mikl-Leitner on EU aid: "Good news. However, money must reach the people quickly".

Lower Austria's Governor welcomes EU aid but emphasises the urgency of delivering it to those affected.

Mikl-Leitner: "We need rapid, unbureaucratic aid for those affected by the recent extreme weather events."

Lower Austria's Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner has welcomed the European Union's announcement of financial aid for the regions affected by the recent extreme weather events. However, she has stressed the importance of delivering the funds to those affected as quickly as possible.

"This is good news for the people in the affected regions," said Mikl-Leitner. "However, it is now important that the money reaches the people quickly and unbureaucratically. The people need help now."

Mikl-Leitner also called for a joint effort by all levels of government to ensure that the aid is distributed efficiently and effectively.

"We need to work together to ensure that the aid reaches those who need it most," said Mikl-Leitner. "We need to ensure that the money is used to rebuild infrastructure, support businesses, and help people get back on their feet."

The European Union has announced a package of financial aid worth €1 billion to help the regions affected by the recent extreme weather events. The aid will be used to fund a range of measures, including rebuilding infrastructure, supporting businesses, and helping people get back on their feet.

The recent extreme weather events have caused widespread damage and disruption across Europe. In Austria, the storms have caused flooding, landslides, and power outages. The damage is estimated to be in the billions of euros.
