lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to begin by echoing the words of the President of Parliament at the beginning of this sitting. On behalf of the Socialist Group, I wish to express my solidarity with the victims of all of these disasters. Secondly, I should like to thank all of the Members of this Chamber, from north, south, east and west, and from all political groups, who have expressed specifically to us – the Portuguese socialists – their solidarity with the victims of the drought and the fires currently ravaging the western Iberian Peninsula, with Portugal very much the worst affected region. I should like to say that what is happening to Portuguese forests is, in terms of scale, without parallel around the world, without parallel in the Amazon region, without parallel anywhere. The deforestation that has taken place in recent decades is on an absolutely disastrous scale; we cannot ignore the scale of this disaster. We must take account of the seriousness of the problem and consider the entire range of measures that need to be taken to deal with the situation. We must analyse the viability of the Solidarity Fund and ascertain why it has thus far been unable, for example, to combat the fires; why, for example, has it been unable to provide financial support for the aeroplanes needed to tackle the fires? We must look into the question of farming, as Mr Galeote Quecedo rightly pointed out, because this disaster is part of a drought on an enormous scale. We must also look into forest policy in order to ensure that it takes greater account of the climatic characteristics of the west of the Peninsula."@en1
