lpv:translated text	"France has submitted an application to mobilise the Fund as a consequence of ‘Hurricane Dean’, which affected Martinique and Guadeloupe in August 2007. The Commission has therefore proposed that a total of EUR 12 780 000 from the Fund be mobilised to support France. The June List welcomes both national and international solidarity and relief actions when a country is affected by disasters. However, it is our opinion, firstly, that previous experience has indicated that the EU is not able to manage emergency aid effectively with Community funds. Secondly, we are talking about a contribution of fractions of a percentage of France’s GNP. It is unreasonable to think that the EU should intervene and jointly finance projects that a rich Member State should be able to cope with themselves. We have therefore chosen to vote against the report as a whole."@en1
