"Mr President, according to the statistics for recent decades, natural disasters are occurring more frequently across the globe. At the same time, the EU budget earmarked for humanitarian aid and civil protection is constantly growing. In this regard, good financial management is vital because the EU needs to have a more realistic humanitarian fund. I should emphasise the need to maintain the balance between financing actions designed to anticipate disasters and emergency aid. Europe must have formal mechanisms to prevent any abuses in this area. Transparent cooperation with international organisations is important. At the same time, the EU must ensure consistency between humanitarian aid and development aid; otherwise, it could have an adverse impact on local markets. For example, surplus food aid may discourage local food production."@en1
