lpv:translated text	"Madam President, this issue has been discussed for quite a long time. It is of course good that we have now obtained a decision and an agreement. At the same time, I am, on behalf of the Committee on Development, disappointed at the result. We have always opposed a situation in which resources already appropriated to genuine development purposes within the Asia budget are now partially reappropriated to this disaster. We have also always maintained that we should, as far as possible, safeguard the disaster reserve and make use instead of the flexibility instrument. We now have only EUR 53 million left in the disaster reserve, with a good four months of this year still to go. What do we do if another disaster occurs somewhere in the world? Our arguments have not succeeded. That does not mean that they are lacking in relevance or weight. On the contrary. We shall support this proposal but go on working to bring about a situation in which efforts in connection with major disasters like this must in the first place be funded from new resources and through the flexibility instrument. We hope, moreover, that we shall as far as possible safeguard the disaster reserve so that we can take action in the event of further major hardships. Finally, I would hope and believe that the resources now set aside for reconstruction and readjustment will be used in the wisest possible way and that, above all, as many aspects as possible of disaster preparedness will be incorporated. In that way, we shall not be making the already vulnerable people who live in that region still more vulnerable."@en1
