lpv:translated text	"Mr President, during the night of 26 to 27 September, the ship sank off the coast of Senegal, taking with it many Senegalese, a group of Europeans, and Roel and Lisette Arendshorst from Groningen. President Wade of Senegal has taken responsibility for this disaster. Since his own country has no money for the recovery of the ship, President Wade has already talked about a burial at sea. This is unacceptable. For the relatives of the victims, it is of the utmost importance for the bodies of their loved ones to be recovered as soon as possible, since problems of identification will arise as time goes on. As an inquiry has shown that the ship is stuck on a sandbank, it would be relatively easy to recover the bodies with the aid of sub-aqua divers. This kind of recovery is not terribly costly but may still be too expensive for Senegal. Last week, I already made an urgent appeal to Commissioners Nielson, Patten and Bolkestein to release European funding from the European Development Fund. Time is pressing. I still have no reply. I should once again like to urge the Commission to offer financial support to Senegal as soon as possible so that the parents and siblings of Roel and Lisette, and the relatives of the other victims, no longer have to live with the anxiety and can bid farewell to their loved ones in a dignified manner."@en1
