lpv:spoken text	"I just wish to congratulate the Commissioner on his replies. I am a little upset and worried about his talk of rapid reaction and the refusal of a political infusion into ECHO. Quite honestly, ECHO needs more than a political infusion: it needs somebody to see what is going on there. When Mr Deva asked Commissioner Nielson a question on Mozambique and about the delay in getting helicopters there, it was dismissed out of hand by Commissioner Nielson. That is unacceptable. We have a situation in Ethiopia where we knew for the past three years that there was a famine coming. The stores down there are empty. Where was ECHO? Commissioner, why did ECHO not foresee this and foresee that food was needed there when so many people were threatened? The Committee on Development and Cooperation and myself have time and time again warned ECHO and the Commission that something should be done about this. Absolutely nothing has been done."@en1
