"Mr President, I will start by expressing my most heartfelt condolences to all the families of the victims of Xynthia, especially in France and Spain. Nobody would have expected that just a week after what happened in Madeira this storm would hit the coasts of France, Spain and, especially, the Canary Islands with such violence.
Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to accompany Mr Hahn, who was in Madeira visiting the most affected areas and was able to see for himself the level of destruction that took place on the ground. Tomorrow, the President of the Commission, Mr Barroso, will do the same. The fact that they are doing this, and personally witnessing the level of destruction, makes them privileged witnesses of what happened and focuses people’s attention on what is most important now: urgent aid.
It is essential that Parliament be able to commit itself to working quickly to review the structure of the Solidarity Fund, simplifying it and sending aid faster so that we can quickly provide relief to people from whom we cannot request more time."@en1
