lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would just like to make two points. Firstly, while the Commission is trying to find innovative solutions to an unprecedented disaster, I would urge it to remain pragmatic about the impact of this gesture. This proposal is well-intentioned. I appreciate we all want to do all we can to help the hundreds and thousands of people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods because of the tsunami but it is important that this is additional help and not replacement help or help in kind and that this does not count towards the EUR 350 million that the EU has already committed to this. Secondly, I would like to ask the Commission to look at the best use for the larger decommissioned boats. The fishing communities in India and Thailand were equally devastated and I believe that the more developed fishing industry in these countries may be better placed and better equipped, to use the larger vessels, so this idea should be explored. Obviously, these boats will not be of any use to the individual, local fishermen, but they could be used by cooperatives or SME businesses. It is important that all the countries are treated equally and that we explore the right avenue for them."@en1
