"Mr President, Mrs Ashton, politics is, first and foremost, about symbols, and that is why I think you should not be here, but in Haiti; that is why I think you should not be travelling to the United States, but to Haiti. I feel – and I say this with a great deal of sadness – that you have not gauged the magnitude of the event, of this terrible tragedy, and, deep down, when we consider all this, Europe has never been so absent. We are the biggest donors, and yet we do not exist. My second feeling is that the more we nominate, the more we create functions and titles, the less we exist, and this should prompt us to ask ourselves some questions. How many disasters must there be before the leaders of the European Union finally measure up to their responsibilities? Mr Barnier’s report has been on the table since 2006. What are we waiting for to adopt it? What are we waiting for to apply it?"@en1
