I will be supporting this resolution, as the chief election observer for the European Union Election Observation Mission to Indonesia. I visited Aceh and the city of Banda Aceh six months ago. I have still been unable to establish the fate of my interpreter and driver from Banda Aceh. I therefore have an appreciation of the scale of the disaster in Indonesia and the Andaman Islands.
What worries me is that the Commission is committing a fraud on the people of Europe and the people of Indonesia and Asia. The so-called 'aid' in reality is the poor helping the poor, as rather than providing new money we are merely shifting money already allocated to the region from people in desperate need to the poor victims of this tragic demonstration of the narrow line mankind walks on earth.
We do not need a tsunami warning centre in Asia. The information is already available at centres like the UK's Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, where all earthquake data is available in real time. All that has to happen is for this information, when necessary, to be immediately communicated to the governments concerned."@en1
