lpv:translated text	". Mr President, socio-economic context and political conditions often exacerbate what strictly speaking should purely be natural disasters. Kashmir is one of these cases. Following the earthquake that occurred in October, which caused the deaths of between 70 000 and 90 000 people and made seven million people homeless, we must respond in an immediate, urgent fashion. That is the appeal we are clearly making and which must be addressed to the European Union, to the Council and to the Commission. We can only stress our condolences and guarantee that we are fully committed to providing this aid. At the same time, however, we must not be content solely with the emergency action. We must tackle the more structural aspects and, in this regard as well, the European Union must commit itself to supporting the reform and resolving the structural problems that require a response, not just in terms of infrastructure, but also from a socio-economic point of view, so that, when similar events occur, the consequences are not as serious as those we are seeing at the moment. We must therefore insist to the governments of the countries affected that this would be a good opportunity to prioritise social and internal needs, to stop spending so much on military aspects and dedicate — and this is where we must support them — all their efforts towards ensuring that the best possible structures are in place and reducing the effects of earthquakes of this kind as far as possible."@en1
