"Madam President, as a member of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Japan, I would like firstly to convey expressions of sympathy and solidarity with the Japanese nation in the face of this enormous catastrophe. It has claimed almost 10 000 human lives, over 16 000 people are considered missing, and these numbers are constantly changing. The earthquake and the tsunami have caused unimaginable destruction. Losses are already estimated at USD 300 billion.
Although Japan has not asked the European Union for any help, we cannot remain passive in the face of the magnitude of this tragedy. The greatest anxiety is being aroused by the damage to the Fukushima nuclear power station. In the opinion of some experts, the situation is serious and may result in a repeat of what happened after Chernobyl. The declaration of the Hungarian Presidency and Mrs Ashton concerning humanitarian and expert aid should be given substance as quickly as possible in close cooperation with the Japanese Government."@en1
