Cette annonce a provoqué l’émotion - que mon collègue Stevenson vient d’évoquer - de certains de mes collègues, alarmés à l’idée que l’Europe allait ainsi se donner bonne conscience en se contentant d’expédier ses vieux bateaux à des populations qui n’en auraient pas l’usage et qui seraient ainsi privées des moyens indispensables à la relance de leur économie.
As Mr Stevenson has just said, this announcement has stirred the feelings of some of my fellow Members, who are alarmed at the idea that Europe was in this way going to salve its conscience by simply sending its old vessels to people who would have no use for them and who would thereby be deprived of the resources essential for getting their economies going again.
