lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, on a point of order, in the early hours of last Thursday morning, a bus carrying 43 school children from Largs Academy in Ayrshire, Scotland, was involved in a tragic accident near the French village of Bierre-les-Semur, near Dijon in Burgundy. Sadly, a 15-year-old girl, Katherine Fish, was killed. One of the teachers accompanying the party lost an arm. Several pupils were seriously injured and are still undergoing treatment in hospital in Semur-en-Auxios and Dijon. Those who were less seriously injured have now been flown home to Scotland on a specially chartered plane. I am sure that the other MEPs from Scotland would wish to join me in expressing our deep shock at this tragic accident and our great debt of gratitude to the Mayor of Bierre-les-Semur, Michel Neugnot, and to the emergency services, medical staff and residents of that area. They acted with enormous concern, sympathy and humanity in caring for these pupils and teachers in the aftermath of the accident and in supporting the many parents from Scotland who rushed to be with their children. The people of Scotland were deeply touched by the kindness and decency of these good people, many of whom volunteered to provide help and comfort to the crash victims. I hope this House will join with me in thanking sincerely all those who opened their hearts to the courageous pupils who were involved in that accident. We wish those who were injured a speedy recovery and send our deepest sympathy to the parents and relatives of Katherine Fish."@en1
