"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the report we are discussing today emphasises that the humanitarian activity of the EU must be governed by principles, as defined by the rules and good practice relating to humanitarian aid. When we read something like this, we may well wonder about the two-faced role of the EU, which gives with one hand and takes with the other. Palestine is a case in point. Here we are giving money in order to vaunt our humanitarianism, while at the same time our foreign policy marginalises 1.5 million people both economically and socially, giving them no hope of improvement in the future. The moral lesson of this should be that humanitarian aid without a realistic foreign policy makes no sense: the two go hand in hand. It is time the Commission woke up to this."@en1
