lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as Chairman of the delegation of the European Parliament for relations with Central Asia, I should expressly like to draw your attention to what is happening in countries such as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. These countries have been, and will be, the first to be affected by the refugee problem as a result of what is now happening in Afghanistan and in that part of the world. There is, therefore, an unqualified need for European consultation on the provision of emergency aid, something which Mr Morillon was quite right to point out. Central Asia is a vulnerable and very fragile region. It is a vulnerable region economically speaking, in terms of respect for human rights and in terms of the fabric of the civil society and democratic institutions. It is a region which, for years, has required our support in the fight against fundamentalism and the drugs trade. That is why we need to ensure that we lend sufficient support to that region. And what do we do? In the 2002 budget, we cut back the budgetary resources allocated to that region. I therefore urge the MEPs of the Committee on Budgets, together with the entire plenary session, to rectify that budget and to give Central Asia what it is entitled to. This is my urgent plea."@en1
