Mr President, even though this debate centres on a matter of great sadness, namely the tragedy that has hit hundreds of thousands of people in the Kashmir region, I believe that we have every reason to be glad that it is taking place. The reason I say this is because it relates to urgent crisis intervention, which in my opinion is an area where the European Union should and can take successful action. No one argues with the need for such interventions, and we can achieve our goals in this respect using existing methodological, financial and logistical resources. I have therefore been delighted to hear the comments made by all the previous speakers, including those by the Member who had visited Kashmir herself. The fact that this debate is taking place a matter of weeks after the tragedy is also to be welcomed.
I believe that the people affected by this disaster deserve our urgent help. There can be no question that they are much more deserving than those regions and countries that recently suffered riots, and I refer to one country in particular. Even though these riots were a result of the countries’ own policies, we have heard that the EU wishes to come to their aid too.
The poor people of Kashmir are far more deserving of help than rich countries that have only themselves to blame for their problems."@en1
