lpv:translated text	". Mr President, we have to deal with three issues in the wake of this disaster: First, how this solidarity can be better expressed; in other words, how much money from European citizens will reach citizens in this devastated area, without being siphoned off by middlemen, para-governmental organisations and contractors. Secondly, we need to respond to certain complaints from newspapers in the Middle East to the effect that it was allegedly preceded by a nuclear test. We must not allow something like this to be raised, even as a ridiculous eventuality. We must first check if any such nuclear test was carried out. Thirdly, we must examine in depth what is happening in our area. Here, the Commission is cutting money from earthquake research and giving it to space research. However, if a similar earthquake occurred here, in the Mediterranean, the tsunami would reach the Alps and would flatten Greece, Italy, Malta, Cyprus, France, Spain and other countries. We therefore need to look at what we can do in this direction. Let the misfortune of south-east Asia be a lesson. As Hippocrates said 2 500 years ago, prevention is better than cure, and that makes sense. However, I do not know if there is any sense in the people at the Commission who are cutting money for earthquake research and giving it to space research. Let us do something in our own area, before it all ends in tears here too."@en1
