"Mr President, I would like to acknowledge the Commission’s swift response to the emergency following the earthquake on 12 May. According to the newspapers, factories, schools and houses collapsed, in certain areas the earthquake destroyed 80% of buildings, in some towns school buildings collapsed, burying the students inside, and, unfortunately, chemical factories have dispersed tonnes of pollutants into the ground.
This time we are managing to follow this devastation, in all its harsh reality, in the press and through the statements of the Chinese authorities – who appear to be holding nothing back. It is noteworthy that on this occasion, in marked contrast to the madness of the nearby Burmese regime, China is showing an openness to assistance and international aid. As the Commissioner has stated on several occasions, Europe must pursue its humanitarian action in the devastated province of Sichuan."@en1
