lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I want to refer to your expression of sympathy with the people of France who are affected by severe flooding. It was very appropriate that you should raise this matter yesterday morning. But you not only expressed sympathy, you also requested the Commission to provide some assistance. Sometimes in Parliament the right hand does not know what the left one is doing. A couple of years ago we took away the possibility of extending assistance to people in such instances in the European Union. We expressed the same sympathy with the Greeks and requested the same assistance, but there is no money available. We ought therefore in future to either provide the money and the conditions under which it is paid or cease to ask the Commission to give assistance. What we gave the Greeks was an empty cup. We are offering the same thing to the people of France."@en1
