"I voted in favour of this resolution on the situation in Haiti, because the European Parliament reiterates its solidarity with the people of Haiti suffering as a result of the earthquake and the cholera epidemic. I agree with the very important call for the international community, as well as the EU, to make a firm and long-term commitment to immediately make good all their promises, because more than a million people are living in what were supposed to be temporary makeshift camps and human rights organisations report that living conditions in these camps without facilities are terrible and women ‘face the risk of rape and sexual violence’. Currently, people do not have enough food, and 80% of Haiti’s population live in abject poverty. It is essential to give people access to healthcare, drinking water and sanitation. Action must be taken to ensure long-term development in Haiti. I therefore agree that the EU and the Member States should include the recovery and rebuilding of Haiti among their most important priorities and that the time has come to help Haiti become an economically and politically strong independent country. The international community must use this opportunity to eliminate the root cause of poverty in Haiti once and for all."@en1
