lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am asking to speak because we have just voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of making EUR 90 million available from the EU’s Solidarity Fund to Greece in the wake of last summer’s disastrous forest fires. European public opinion was shocked by last summer’s disaster. Today’s European Parliament decision is a gesture of real solidarity with the regions and citizens who were severely affected last August. Let me thank all my fellow Members in the Committee on Budgets, and you as well, ladies and gentlemen, for the most interesting and rapid work we have accomplished and for the very successful hearing we have organised. Allow me to make one final point, Mr President: we are perhaps the only parliament in the world which manages to stifle good news. Today we have an important decision on the allocation of money to Greek citizens. For technical rather than political reasons, we have, unfortunately, not been able to make the decision by means of a debate. I regret this, but the effectiveness of the decision is more important than anything."@en1
