A flood constitutes a disaster within the meaning of Title XVII C of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009; whereas there is consequently reason to authorise the duty-free importation of goods which satisfy the requirements of Articles 74 to 80 of the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009.
(2)
In order that the Commission may be suitably informed of the use made of the goods admitted duty-free, the Government of Poland must communicate the measures taken to prevent such goods imported duty-free from being employed otherwise than for the use laid down.
(3)
The Commission should also be informed of the extent and the nature of the importations made.

Other Member States have been consulted as laid down in Article 76 of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009,
