". – Mr President, since the beginning of the conflict in 1999, the Commission has granted some EUR 44 million in humanitarian assistance to the victims of the Chechnya conflict. So far this year, three funding decisions totalling EUR 18.5 million have been adopted. They cater for the most urgent needs of those affected by the conflict, benefiting IDPs and the most vulnerable population in Chechnya as well as Chechen IDPs in Inguchetia and Dagestan.
This implies that in 2001, EUR 18.5 million of the EUR 25 million originally provided for have already been committed. In order to determine further funding needs this year, the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office will undertake another assessment of the humanitarian situation in September and subsequently submit a funding proposal to the Commission. The main objective of this forthcoming decision will be preparation for the winter.
The geographic scope of the aid activities will be determined as per the identified priority needs. The minimum amount required to this end is currently estimated at around EUR 11.5 million. In 2002, ECHO intends to continue funding operations in line with its humanitarian mandate. Obviously, the scope of ECHO's involvement will depend on the security situation and the humanitarian working conditions. This notably concerns our operations inside Chechnya where things are still very difficult for us and where we are still engaged in a so far unsatisfactory dialogue with the Russian authorities concerning radio communication, access, and working conditions and security in general for the people working for our money there."@en1
