".
I support and have voted in favour of Mr Colom i Naval’s report, which authorises financial payment from the Solidarity Fund to Portugal.
The scale and severity of the tragedy which struck our country justify appeals for EU support. The Commission’s first response was confined to EUR 30 million, which Commissioner Barnier himself recognised as falling well short of expectations and requirements.
I welcome the European Parliament’s display of solidarity, its support for Portugal and the negotiating skills of the Portuguese Government, in particular those of the Secretary of State for European Affairs, Dr Carlos Costa Neves. The EUR 48.5 million in aid for which we have voted today is a fairer and more fitting amount than that previously provided."@en1
