lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I have the impression that the media spotlight on the tragedy in the Far East has not yet been turned off and already the emphatic declarations of solidarity are giving way to more cynical economic and geopolitical interests. Mr Barroso has tried to carry out a sleight of hand, but he is not a good conjurer. The word ‘reprogramming’ means using funds that had already been allocated to aid, and so I call for all the EUR 350 million for the first stage of reconstruction to be a new appropriation and for the total of EUR 1.5 billion that is to be paid out by the European Union and the 25 Member States to be donated without any kind of interest. I have heard calls in this Chamber to take account of the foreign debt of the countries affected by the tsunami. I believe we should state clearly that the only practicable possibility is to cancel their foreign debt. We are talking about countries like Indonesia, which has more than USD 130 billion in debts and repaid USD 13 billion in 2002. Given figures like those, our donations cannot provide any practical aid unless we cancel the debt. I have not yet heard anybody mention an attempt to change the immigration rules, at least temporarily: I refer to the possibility for immigrants from the affected nations who are already living in Europe to be able to return home, see the situation for themselves, look for their loved ones and then be able to come back to the Union, without running the risk of losing their residence permit or job. I also refer to the possibility of offering residence permits, at least temporary ones, to all those who have been hurt during this tragedy."@en1
