"The European Union is a global player. It is with this strong belief that the authors of the Treaty of Lisbon strengthened Europe’s ambitions on the world stage. The humanitarian dimension has an important place in this major project. The Union is already the world’s largest donor, providing 40% of all contributions. This joint declaration ‘is based on common principles and approaches and designed to encourage concerted and coordinated action within the EU and with other actors and thus improve the collective response to humanitarian crises’. I therefore voted in favour of this resolution, which recalls that humanitarian aid must be provided in an appropriate and effective manner; stresses the importance of good coordination; emphasises the secondary nature of assistance provided by military and civil protection capabilities and the vital importance of reducing risks caused by natural disasters; and, lastly, calls on the Union to strengthen the link between emergency aid, reconstruction and development."@en1
