"Mr President, I think that the tragedy unfolding in India demanded some response from the European Parliament. I hope that the Commission’s action will be fully adequate to this tragedy which has left more than a million people homeless and has caused immeasurable damage. I believe that this is also an important issue since the European Union must strengthen its cooperation and work towards a strategic partnership with India. I hope that Commissioner Patten, in particular, will ensure that everything is done to deal with this tragedy as best we can.
I have only one other brief point to mention to my fellow Members. In paragraph 4 of our resolution, we point out that some buildings in this region were weakened by structural faults. I am not at all sure that we should labour this point, given the current problems faced by the people of India. I tabled an amendment to withdraw this paragraph. I hope that my fellow Members will adopt this amendment."@en1
