Earthquakes such as those which occurred in Italy on 24 August and 26 and 30 October 2016 constitute a disaster within the meaning of Chapter XVII, Section C, of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009; there is, therefore, reason to authorise duty-free importation of goods which satisfy the requirements of Articles 74 to 80 of the abovementioned Regulation. |

The Italian Republic should inform the Commission of the nature and quantities of the various goods admitted duty-free for the benefit of the victims of the earthquakes which occurred in Italy in 2016, of the organisations it has approved for the distribution or making available of those goods and of the measures taken to prevent the goods from being used otherwise than for disaster relief to those victims. |
(3) |
Relief of customs duty should be granted in respect of importations from the date of the first earthquake occurrence. |
(4) |
Other Member States have been consulted as laid down in Article 76 of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009, |
