"Mr President, Commissioners, President-in-Office of the Council, my greatest sympathy at this time is with the families badly hit or otherwise affected in the disaster-struck areas. Respect and admiration are also in order for the huge response to the disaster and for the way in which thousands of people stood shoulder to shoulder in combating the masses of water. It was unprecedented. There must be no doubt that the EU Member States should pull together in dealing with a disaster like this. It is therefore important to remember that aid is twice as valuable when it is offered promptly. I would also draw attention to the fact that many people are looking to see how we help the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is a candidate country, and it is therefore very important that we deal with it in such a way that it, and thus the other candidate countries too, feel secure. I would finally draw attention to the fact that agriculture in the affected areas is suffering losses twice over: firstly, this autumn’s harvest of coarse fodder has been lost and, secondly, the harvest of sown winter crops will not be ready for next year. I would therefore very much urge that there be no doubt about the fact that the losses sustained by agriculture in particular will be spread over at least two accounting years."@en1
