"Mr President, I think there should be proportion in everything. Natural disasters are occurring around the world. There have been a large number of these in recent years. Thousands of people have been killed and been made homeless as a result of hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It is these that are natural disasters! It is only right that the EU should try to help in these different contexts.
I happened to be in southern Sweden in the course of the twenty-four hours we are talking about here. It is true that the wind was blowing. It was even stormy. It sometimes is in southern Sweden. This is not something the European Parliament can do anything about. Individual people were affected and there was serious damage to the countryside, but there was no natural disaster. This is a question for Sweden and Swedish insurance companies and not something the European Parliament should be devoting time to."@en1
