lpv:translated text	"Mr President, to begin with, I want to agree with most of what has been said in this regard, especially by my colleague, Mrs González Álvarez. I also want to take the opportunity to appeal to the Council. As I understand it, Portugal does not intend, during its presidency, to take any initiatives on this issue. I would therefore appeal to France do so in the course of its own forthcoming presidency and, last but not least (and if nothing has happened by then), to my own country, Sweden, to take measures during its own presidency with a view to achieving a peaceful resolution of this conflict after all these years. I am also particularly glad that Commissioner Nielson is present here today. I hope that we shall be able relatively soon to have a meeting in connection with what was stated here in the European Parliament by German aid organisations the other day, namely that refugees in the camps are in danger of starving and that infant mortality and deaths in childbirth have already increased by an alarming amount in recent months. ECHO has assumed the major responsibility of constantly providing for the refugees and, whenever this organisation wavers, the voluntary organisations are left powerless. They have ceased to provide aid and there is no effective coordination. I really would appeal to Commissioner Nielson to act quickly. I would also appeal to the chairman and members of the Committee on Budgets to deal with this issue quickly. I cannot think of anything worse than languishing for 25 years among the sand dunes and being taken in by referenda year upon year, only then to starve to death."@en1
