"The European Union, like the entire international community, is facing an important test of solidarity with regard to the situation in Haiti. The forthcoming EU summit must present a decisive, well-coordinated solution, with a single voice, to meet the needs for reconstruction and aid which Haiti is experiencing as a consequence of one of the greatest natural disasters in modern history. The call from the European Parliament and request submitted to the European Commission to come up with a specific proposal to set up a Civil Protection Force which can respond quickly in the event of a natural disaster anywhere in the world must be answered.
The ‘Haiti Lesson’ must not be forgotten and the European Union must show, in this case, not only that it knows what solidarity means, but also that it is an adaptable and flexible institution which is learning from the current painful events. The European Union has all the data and instruments for getting involved in the long-term reconstruction of Haiti. Coordination is required with the United States and Canada so that the whole international community can speak with a single voice. The Haitian people, sorely tried by history and nature, must receive from the international community the necessary instruments to learn to help themselves."@en1
