Abstract: Following the earthquake in the Abruzzi region in April 2009, the European Union Solidarity Fund co-financed with the amount of €494m the emergency assistance to the population and the construction of temporary houses and schools. The European Court of Auditors analysed the relevance and cost of the operations and in particular of the CASE project. It concludes that the EUSF regulation did not envisage solutions such as the CASE project, which erected permanent houses in order to provide temporary accommodation to the earthquake-affected population. Furthermore, the Court found that these houses responded to many immediate needs of the population, although with insufficient capacity, and that there were shortcomings in the planning and in ensuring economy in the implementation of the project |
