"An unprecedented disaster is the assessment of the floods in Pakistan.
Twenty million people have been affected. Two thousand have lost their lives, more than 1 million homes have been destroyed, while sections of the infrastructure and a large part of the agricultural land are unusable.
The European Union could not remain indifferent to this tragedy, especially as some of its Member States, including Romania, experienced the violence of the floods this summer.
I welcome the firm commitment made by the European Commission and Member States, which have released relief funds amounting to EUR 230 million. This has made the EU the biggest external donor to Pakistan.
Nevertheless, the humanitarian situation remains particularly serious, with long-term implications.
I believe that sustainable redevelopment can only be achieved through growth of this country’s economy. In this respect, the EU can contribute by opening up its markets to Pakistan."@en1
