"In recent weeks in Central Europe, particularly in upper and lower Austria, eastern Germany and parts of the Czech Republic, entire areas have been ravaged by floods of unprecedented and catastrophic proportions. More than 100 people have lost their lives and tens of thousands have been forced out of their homes and out of their work places. Today, on behalf of myself and this House I want to express our deepest sympathy with the victims of the floods and their families, and to recognise the extraordinary efforts of the rescue services and so many volunteers. Tomorrow, in a specially convened emergency debate, in addition to our heartfelt sympathy of this afternoon we have the possibility, in a practical way, to lay the foundations to show real solidarity. As a mark of respect for those who died, I ask you to rise in a minute's silence.
(
On Sunday, 4 August, Cecilio Gallego Alaria and a six-year-old girl were killed by a car bomb which had been placed near a bus stop in the Spanish town of Santa Pola in Alicante. On 1 August David Caldwell was killed in an explosion in Derry in Northern Ireland. By these acts, terrorists have shown once more in their denial to the right to life their essential provocation to the democratic order. Terrorism denies the common values and principles that the European Union is founded upon, represents, promotes and defends. Our Union is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law which are common to the Member States and therefore can offer no justification for the use of terrorist violence.
On my own behalf and that of the House, I strongly condemn these acts of terrorism and express my deepest condolences to the victims' families, and our deepest sympathy for those affected by terrorist attacks. On behalf of the House I express once more our support for the respective authorities in their efforts in the fight against terrorism. I ask you to observe one minute's silence for the victims of terrorism."@en1
