"I voted in favour of this report because, as the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid, the European Union must pay greater attention to humanitarian aid in those areas where it is needed as a matter of urgency, given that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters and internal conflicts. The Member States should contribute more effectively to the process of implementing this Consensus, by including it in national humanitarian strategies. Given the need for humanitarian aid, it is necessary to allocate increased funding to it, making rapid and effective funding of operations possible.
I agree with the proposal that a very clear distinction needs to be maintained between the remits of military and humanitarian bodies, so that military resources and capabilities are used only in a very limited number of cases and as a last resort, particularly in those regions affected by armed conflicts. Furthermore, in order to ensure appropriate and effective coordination of humanitarian aid, a European civil protection force and a European rapid reaction capacity must be created."@en1
