lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to speak along similar lines to Mrs De Veyrac. The catastrophic floods which have occurred in the south of France have levied a very heavy toll with 39 deaths and widespread chaos in the region. In the four affected by the floods of 12 and 13 November, namely Aude, Hérault, Pyrénées-Orientales and Tarn, the bill will be in excess of EUR 0.7 billion and compensation to individuals will amount to EUR 0.5 billion. The damage to public services is estimated at over FRF 1 billion because of the extensive damage to roads and railways, power and telephone lines, buildings and public facilities. All sectors have been affected, with over 200 craftsmen having been caught in the disaster, 260 businesses having suffered serious damage and 1,518 employees having been affected. I would draw Parliament’s attention to the fact that this is indeed a natural disaster for these floods and this rain were twenty times greater than normal. This is not therefore the result, as we would sometimes like to believe, of carelessness in local development. This is truly a natural disaster. This is why I would urge Parliament to act in this region."@en1
