lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as Mr Lage has just said, Mongolia is certainly the country of the former Soviet Union which has made the most progress in establishing democracy and the rule of law. Unfortunately, it is also a country that seems to have been completely abandoned by the gods. During the winter of 1999-2000, it experienced extremely harsh conditions with temperatures falling to –50º centigrade. It experienced the same conditions this year after an intervening drought last summer. All this has led to the death of millions of head of livestock. Livestock is Mongolia’s chief resource. No doubt you read in yesterday afternoon’s edition of the newspaper that, in addition to these scourges, Mongolia has been hit by foot-and-mouth disease. It is easy to imagine the damage that may cause in a country whose economy is based primarily on the rearing of livestock. In point 8 of its legislative programme last year, the Commission pledged substantial emergency aid to Mongolia. So far, it has only allocated a small amount of this aid. It has sent just a few hundred thousand dollars to add to the few hundred thousand dollars from other donor countries, which include Israel and the People’s Republic of China. Mongolia needs USD eight million. It is therefore crucial that the Commission’s pledges match the scale of the catastrophe that has now struck Mongolia."@en1
