Ladies and gentlemen, holding debates in the aftermath of a disaster is always difficult, because on the one hand emotions are running high, and yet on the other political lessons must be learned from what has happened.
Could you please either quieten down or go and have a coffee, and come back when we have finished discussing the important issues? Would that be possible? There is a bar outside, where you can go and get as drunk as you like. Thank you. I apologise, Mr President.
I should like to say that my group supports the proposal presented by the Commission and the Council to enhance the European Union’s civilian intervention capacities. This disaster has shown us that, although much-needed, national interventions alone were unable to respond to a disaster of such magnitude. It also showed that civilian intervention capacities should cover not only humanitarian civilian intervention but also political civilian intervention, or in other words intervention in support of conflict prevention.
We cannot intervene in Indonesia without intervening in the conflict which is taking place there, and we cannot help Sri Lanka without intervening in the military conflict which is going on there. Intervention in support of conflict prevention and humanitarian intervention are intimately linked, and we support the Commission’s views on this matter. I should like to suggest to other Members that the money they receive for this sitting should be donated to help the victims of the disaster."@en1
