"I voted in favour of the report. However, I would like to make the following important remarks:
1) I am opposed to the war in Afghanistan being waged by the United States and NATO. Peace can only be established if negotiations are held with the Taliban and other groups with a view to holding genuinely democratic elections and giving the Afghan people their full national right of self-determination.
2) I believe that the present government is extremely corrupt. Any EU assistance for the Afghan Government’s civilian development projects must therefore be limited and strictly controlled. The goal must be to develop successful measures to combat corruption so that a future, genuinely democratically elected and well-functioning government can be entrusted with a greater proportion of the assistance.
3) A number of effective and well-known international organisations and NGOs are carrying out successful development work in Afghanistan, often with the emphasis on health and education. In the current situation, they should be given priority when it comes to increasing the assistance available."@en1
