"Mr President, we see in Haiti one of the hugest humanitarian aid operations ever. We have to make sure that we do not lose the battle against this catastrophe and that we manage to get results and help Haitians to build their future. Apart from being an individual disaster for millions of people, a failure would also be a backlash for the international community’s effort and capacity to conduct a joint effort in humanitarian aid. I believe that we have to put all our experience, all the lessons we have learnt in Haiti and elsewhere, and also enough money, into the pot. Therefore, I very much welcome the Commission’s announcement that it will put an additional EUR 12 million into the fight against cholera. We have to make sure that this support reaches Haiti immediately, that it arrives in full and not just in part, and that we support the right initiatives in order to make it effective. We also have to make sure that we do not neglect the efforts for the earthquake reconstruction because, without that, fighting disease will be impossible. I have two questions to the Commission. Firstly, I would like to know whether the pledged money has arrived – the money that was promised – and whether it was disbursed and absorbed. Secondly, I would like to know what you think about postponing the elections, because that is again on the agenda. The Haitian revolution has never managed to enter the history books. Let us hope that the difficult time in Haiti at the moment will enter the history books as the starting point for preparing a better future for all Haitians. I hope it can also be mentioned that the EU played a very positive role in this."@en1
