"Mr President, the tsunami tragedy should be no less significant to the world’s leaders and to Europe than 11 September. The Asian tsunami should act as a turning point for the most pressing of the world’s priorities – that of preventing and combating hunger and disease.
I therefore wish to ask four questions. Firstly, do you believe that the EUR 450 million announced for reconstruction might undermine programmes already planned for Asia (as is the case of EUR 150 million of the EUR 450 million announced)? Secondly, do you intend to back the cancellation of the debt of countries affected by the tsunami or do you advocate just a moratorium? Thirdly, will they be treated the same as Iraq, or worse than Iraq? Lastly, Commissioner Michel proposed to the last Council a more ambitious target than 0.7% for development. Will you reconsider this proposal, or will it be jettisoned for good?"@en1
