"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as well as offering my condolences and support to the people of Taiwan, I would like to emphasise the timeliness of the European Union’s humanitarian effort in this disaster. The Commission has played its part, and many Member States have sent aid or teams of experts. The People’s Republic of China itself has helped the Taiwanese authorities, and this is a gesture that I consider to be very significant. However, if we want to provide the Taiwanese authorities and the countries of the region with structural help to cope with threats of this kind in the future, the European Union should support Taiwan’s admission as an observer to the World Meteorological Organisation and to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Taiwan’s admission as an observer has already yielded some good results in other international sectoral organisations such as the WTO, and, in this case, too, Taiwan’s admission could be a practical form of prevention and could in future limit the risks for the 23 million inhabitants of the island and for the region as a whole."@en1
