"Ladies and gentlemen, as you will be aware, last month saw the names of four more victims being added to the intolerable list of those who have lost their lives in Spain as a result of terrorist attacks by ETA. They were: José Francisco Querol Lombardero, a general and magistrate at the Supreme Court, Jesús Escudero García, a policeman and Mr Querol’s bodyguard, Armando Medina, Mr Querol’s chauffeur, and Jesús Sánchez Martínez, a bus driver. My thoughts are also with the many people who were injured in the attack in Madrid on 30 October. All we can do is reiterate our revulsion at this senseless violence and our total condemnation of it. I would ask you to observe one minute’s silence. ( *** Many of them were very young. They were happily on their way to ski on the slopes in Austria when 155 of them died in appalling circumstances in the disaster on the Kaprun funicular. On behalf of this Parliament, I immediately sent to the President of Austria, Mr Thomas Klestil, and to the Chancellor, Mr Wolfgang Schüssel, messages of condolence and support in the ordeal that a tragedy of this kind is for the victims, those close to them and the people of Austria as a whole. In order to show the extent to which the whole of Europe empathises with the bereavement felt throughout one country in the Union, I have asked in these exceptional circumstances for the flags at the European Parliament to be flown at half mast today. I would invite you to dedicate your thoughts to this tragedy for one minute. ( )"@en1
