". – Mr President, the Commission is concerned about the recent attempted coup in the Central African Republic and the increasing political and social instability in the country. In this context, the Commission, together with the Central African Republic, has recently finalised a country support strategy aimed at promoting good governance and a more stable, social and institutional environment as prerequisites for sustainable development.
The Community's cooperation is to be focused on the transport and health sectors. This strategy may have to be reviewed in the light of recent events. It should be emphasised that the crisis did not turn at any time into a widespread mutiny and remained essentially confined to military operations. The resulting humanitarian crisis appears to be well identified and manageable.
The Commission's humanitarian aid office (ECHO) has, since the beginning of the crisis, been in regular contact with the delegation and international NGOs coordinating with the UN on the ground in Bangui.
In consultation with these partners, and in response to this crisis, the Commission will be providing up to EUR 1 million for a two-month operation. This will include emergency food aid for 35 000 children and other particularly vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and the elderly; medical assistance in the form of drugs, medical equipment and small-scale rehabilitation to enable looted health centres to reopen immediately; and reinstallation assistance in the form of basic household items and, possibly, support to refurbish badly damaged homes."@en1
