From Tuesday's plenary sitting: excerpts from the speech of the new EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Baroness Ashton, setting out how the EU has begun to respond to the crisis of the Haiti earthquake.
Linda McAvan's response is included here in full.
Later in the debate, BNP leader Nick Griffin condemned the decision of EU governments to send millions of euros in aid to Haiti as "not compassion, this is stinking hypocrisy".
