    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Eastern European country will be able to repurpose EU funds to cover its immediate and long-term needs after deadly floods unleashed considerable damage.

    The European Commission will show “maximum flexibility” and create a special task force to ensure Slovenia gets the funds it needs to rebuild after flooding devastated the country, Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.

    With Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob, the Commission agreed to create a task force to work on the requirements to make sure the request is made on time.

    According to Slovenia’s weather service, a month’s worth of rain fell in less than a day taking the weekly rainfall accumulation in some areas to 200mm.

    France, Germany, Croatia, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Italy together provided excavators, mobile bridges, helicopters as well as emergency and engineering equipment and personnel.

    Von der Leyen is also scheduled to speak to an extraordinary plenary session of the Slovenian National Assembly during her visit to the country on Wednesday.
