"Mr President, I welcome that today the Foreign Ministers have agreed to step up efforts as a community to tackle this Ebola crisis. Amongst the measures that they are talking about, one that I hope will resonate in this Chamber is to give guarantees to healthcare workers who volunteer and put themselves at risk, so that they will go there and tackle this disease; because you can treat the disease and you can prevent it from spreading. So that is one small piece of good news. Clearly we are debating this with greater urgency because Ebola has now reached the European Union. I am not proud to say that is the case, but it is the reality and perhaps it may lead to a cure, and indeed more effective action.
In terms of the budget that we are using to tackle this disease, it has to come from the existing pot and clearly there is already a reduction in the common agricultural policy budget predicted for next year of EUR 448 million. It is hard to argue against it, but we need to be careful of resources. Lastly, there are children who have been orphaned because of this disease. They are not being looked after, because people are concerned about them. This crisis will go on, beyond the immediate crisis, into looking after those left behind."@en1
