"Mr President, I would also like to support what has just been said, and indeed I would very much have liked to have been present at the start of yesterday’s sitting since, coming from the region that has just suffered this disaster in the south of France, I would have liked to have actually been able to hear the President’s words on the subject.
In addition to these few words, as a witness who is unfortunately very much concerned by this, I would simply like to ask if, in addition to expressing our sympathy – and the families of victims will undoubtedly appreciate it – we might, on behalf of the European Parliament, undertake a solidarity action in the form of aid which may be allocated to this region in the south which has suffered greatly, firstly for the families who have lost everything, but also for the economic resources which have been destroyed. Right now, there are enormous requirements, and I would like my fellow Members in the European Parliament to join this surge of solidarity which is currently making itself felt.
I have here a special feature, which I shall pass on to you, from the local daily newspaper whose pictures clearly show the vast extent of the disaster, with over 30 dead and many more missing. I believe it is one of the most serious flood disasters we have had in our country. I hope that this wish will be followed up by the European Parliament, and I thank you for this."@en1
