"Thank you for the floor, Mr President. I asked to speak because of a tragic accident that occurred three days ago in Croatia. An 18-year-old man stepped on a landmine and became one of the already numerous victims, among them Italian, Dutch and other European fellow citizens. Croatia is not party to the comprehensive mine clearance programme being financed by the Commission from 2008 to 2013, and yet the number of such mines that have been deployed is unknown. Though Croatia has never produced any mines of this sort, there are life-threatening antipersonnel mines along some 1 000 kilometres of its territory. I respectfully ask the Commission and you, Mr President, to intervene so that Croatia may also benefit from European aid – just like Bosnia, Ukraine, Kosovo and Cyprus – since this is an extremely costly and highly dangerous operation. I have been speaking in my capacity as Chairman – on the EU side – of the EU-Croatia Joint Parliamentary Committee. Thank you very much for the floor."@en1
