European Parliament
Deva (PPE-DE ).
Mr President, I want to alert Parliament and the Commission to the earthquake that occurred late last night in the Atlas mountains in Morocco and which has caused a considerable number of deaths there. I am also speaking on behalf of my friend and colleague Mr Deprez when I point out that there are a lot of people in Brussels and in this Parliament whose families are in Morocco. The Commission is very good at providing humanitarian assistance via ECHO, and this is an instance in which we should move as fast as we can.
