"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, at one time, the Mongolian nomadic armies under the command of Genghis Khan instilled fear across the world. Today, the remote descendants of these feared hordes are condemned to abject poverty. Two harsh winters in succession will probably spell the end of a nation of shepherds and of economic developments in Mongolia. I hope that this debate will break through the indifference of the international community.
In mid-January, I, together with Mr Maat, received the Prime Minister of Mongolia. We were taken with the openness and determination he displayed in approaching our Parliament. I would remind the Commission of the wish Parliament expressed last year to grant Mongolia the necessary emergency aid. Commissioner, I beg you, please grant Mongolia more structural aid and economic assistance through ECHO and TACIS. I will be much obliged to you."@en1
