"Thank you, Mr President. Ladies and gentlemen, there can be no one in this House who doubts that the countries affected by the tsunami tragedy need rapid, effective and coordinated aid. The European Union must do more than merely send funds, however. We cannot limit our role to that of a generous donor who believes that sending out money will solve the problem.
We must plan a programme of long-term infrastructure and economic reconstruction in the countries of South-East Asia and Africa affected by the tsunami tragedy. In addition, a special early-warning system should be put in place to protect the international community from similar disasters in future, and special funds should be set aside for these measures. As a member of the Delegation for Relations with the Countries of South Asia, I would ask that this Delegation become an active and natural point of reference for issues concerning aid for tsunami victims and measures to prevent any irregular use of funds, as the latter could occur if proper monitoring procedures are not put in place. I thank you."@en1
