“Experience has shown that the amount of compensation stipulated in our current regulatory acts is too small to provide people with meaningful assistance. This is why in the event of an emergency, we decide, on a case-by-case basis, to add to those minimum amounts. And in order to move away from that practice in the future and to ensure people’s rights are upheld, we are considering the possibility of raising the minimum compensation paid to victims of disasters.”
