The disaster which has hit Japan owing to an earthquake and a tsunami of surprising proportions has left us all with a sense of profound sorrow at the immense loss of life and substantial damage to property. Let us then, as MEPs, express all our sincere sympathy to the people and government of Japan. Our thoughts and those of all European citizens go out to the thousands of people who will now have to rebuild their lives and their communities. At the same time, we are impressed by the rapid and decisive action of local authorities and emergency services and by the exemplary courage and determination of the Japanese people. Although the EU has already activated its Civil Protection Mechanism by sending experts from Europe to coordinate emergency aid, we also urge Member States, as a priority, to support disaster areas with all the humanitarian, technical and financial help and support they need. Recalling the strong friendship and close political and economic relations that bind the EU to Japan, we are determined to support this country struggling to overcome the challenges it faces, including the threat of a real nuclear catastrophe."@en1
