Strasbourg, 23/01/2001 (Agence Europe) - By adopting a resolution, during its emergency debate, on the earthquake in El Salvador, the EP says it shares the distress of the El Salvadorian people who, having managed to restore peace and democracy, without having been able to bandage all the wounds following Hurricane Mitch, once more, following this disaster, see all their hopes of development dashed. The EP welcomes the spontaneous and rapid reaction on the part of the Commission and international community, and calls on the Commission to draw up, as united response from the EU, a reconstruction plan for the region, with the necessary resources and that can be implemented rapidly.
