The interim Cabinet approved the regulations concerning the management of the two emergency funds of the Government – the reserve fund and the intervention fund, IPN reports.

The regulations allow making qualitative changes in the structure of the emergency funds and in the procedure for determining eligibility for benefiting from money from them. The reserve fund is intended for financing unpredictable measures that cannot be planned, while the intervention fund is designed for removing the consequences caused by calamities.

A provision stipulates that during the year the approved intervention fund can be supplemented with donations from natural and legal persons.

The regulations were drafted based on the practice of some of the EU member states, in particular Slovenia and Romania.
