lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, Mr President, it is true that your news and your message are extremely disappointing when we think of the emotional concern shown at the damage caused by the storms last December. Mr Barnier was very emphatic in his speech, assuring us that the European Union was, in effect, going to do something to help the victims. By victims I mean the small-scale foresters who have been ruined, but I am also referring to the small seaside businesses who now have to face the influx of tourists. Well, now we know that forests do not fall within the remit of the European Union. So we are going to use part of the Structural Funds to finance emergency aid in the event of natural disasters. Yet we are well aware that this will take time. And, in this regard, may I say that the European Union’s policy consists of robbing Peter to pay Paul. We cannot support this policy, for it amounts to depriving some to provide for others, to the detriment of future projects. In my opinion, this is really not good enough, and we expect tangible measures from the Commission. The citizens are calling for immediate action."@en1
