"I have voted in favour of this resolution.
Faced with this disaster, we are thinking firstly of the pain and suffering of the victims’ families.
The European Union has again missed an opportunity to demonstrate its capacity to react. It would have been nice to see - alongside Commissioner Michel – Presidents Barroso and Borell and the High Representative, Mr Solana, making Europe’s voice heard more clearly.
The mobilisation of the European peoples has been exemplary. Now, our responsibility is firstly to respond to the emergency (with drinking water, food etc) and to prevent epidemics.
Above all, the European Union will, however, when the cameras are no longer there, have to respond in the following ways, and on a long-term basis, to the requests of the populations affected.
Engage in reconstruction work, while respecting natural forces. As we have seen, it is not worth our while building along the coast.
Develop and coordinate efficient systems of prevention and alert.
Combat paedophilia. The European Union has a moral obligation to help these countries protect their children and, in particular, the orphans of the disaster from the paedophile networks unfortunately kept going by a category of tourists, whom we condemn, from the rich countries."@en1
