"Mr President, I am grateful to you for drawing the attention of the House to the catastrophe in Louisiana and New Orleans. Some of these people are of French and Spanish descent and are, of course, American citizens.
The European Commission has an ability to provide extremely good advice and support through ECHO. All around the world in crises of a similar type, ECHO has played a prominent advisory role – in the tsunami in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, and in other instances such as the Mozambique floods.
I have discussed this matter with Commissioner Michel and am requesting this Parliament to ask the Commission to send an ECHO team to advise the United States authorities, both state and federal, on our experience of dealing with these matters. It is our chance to give something back to the American people."@en1
