"Mr President, I would like to express our horror, our condolences, our solidarity and our commitment to contribute to alleviating the effects of this disaster. The European Union, Mr President, must be a match for this disaster and for the mobilisation demonstrated by our societies. The suggestions of the Socialist Group appear in the joint resolution, which we will vote for with conviction and which can be summed up in seven points. Firstly, the positive assessment of the appropriate actions of the Council and the Commission, which reacted immediately to the disaster and committed the necessary resources and informed Parliament – although it is noted that there has been a lack of information and communication with society, which may have led some Members to conclude that there has been nobody on the ground, when in fact there has been admirable action. Secondly, the resources promised by everybody must be produced immediately and, in any event, according to a set timetable. Thirdly, all of the European Union’s resources must be fresh money, and in no event must they be taken from other programmes; President Barroso’s arguments have not been convincing in this regard. Fourthly, the commitment to follow emergency actions with the essential reconstruction actions, in agreement with the main protagonists; the countries affected. Fifthly, the commitment to implement an early warning system capable of preventing similar disasters. Sixthly, the commitment also to implement a reaction mechanism for disasters of a permanent and professional nature, able to intervene in the event that prevention does not succeed. And there is an important point of reference in the Constitution in the form of the creation of a corps of humanitarian aid volunteers. Seventhly, these actions must not all be the result of impromptu actions, of coalitions made up of arbitrary groups of countries, but they must be the result of mobilisation within the framework of the United Nations, and with the active and visible participation of the European Union."@en1
