lpv:translated text	". The tsunami disaster is a major international tragedy requiring global solidarity and generosity. We have chosen to vote in favour of the proposal. In our opinion, however, the UN is the international body best suited to providing humanitarian aid in connection with international disasters. The UN has broader international support and greater experience in handling crisis situations than the EU. We disapprove of the EU taking every opportunity to promote and strengthen its own position and influence. In addition, there is good cause to question whether sending vessels from EU Member States to the countries hit by the tsunami is the most appropriate way of helping. An alternative contribution would be to buy the vessels locally. This would simplify the relief effort and contribute to the development of the local economies of the countries hit by the tsunami."@en1
