". The final text of the resolution goes a long way towards meeting the expectations of the Portuguese people and provides, at last, a response that is in line with the scale of the disaster that struck Portugal in the form of a devastating series of forest fires at the end of July and August. I voted for all the proposed amendments to the motion for a compromise resolution and am delighted that they were all approved, significantly improving the high standard of work achieved previously by the representatives of the groups. Portugal’s justifiable request for an increase in the size of its grant from the Solidarity Fund has received a strong vote of confidence here today. A complementary move is now afoot to reorganise some Structural Funds and Community programmes with a view to dealing with the effects of the disaster; that move has also been given a boost. At the same time, moreover, the second reading of the draft Forest Focus regulation, which will soon reach this Chamber, has gained considerable impetus. This is because renewed sanction has been given to the demands already made by the European Parliament for the forest fire prevention programme, as it functioned until the end of 2002, to be properly reviewed."@en1
