"Let me deal first with humanitarian aid. ECHO’s on-going aid amounts to EUR 5 million in two
of EUR 2 million and EUR 3 million. In addition ECHO is preparing a further decision to provide a significant amount for additional humanitarian assistance. These projects will cover food distribution, logistic support, water and sanitation, medical assistance, protection and security for the returnees and the transport of returnees from Dili to their place of origin. An essential element of humanitarian aid consists of food supply. A few days ago, the Commission reached agreement with the World Food Programme to supply 10,920 tons of maize and 1,240 tons of vegetable oil. This aid will cost EUR 8.5 million.
As regards our support for the UN administration the Commission intends to give EUR 10 million support to the new UN trust fund for East Timor. Consultations with Member States are already under way. The Commission should take a formal decision by the beginning of December. Another visible demonstration of the Commission’s priorities in helping East Timor is the forthcoming visit at the end of this month of my colleague in the Commission, Mr Nielson, to East and West Timor.
As to the long-term prospects for rehabilitation the report of the Commission’s representative who participated in the World Bank-led assessment mission to East Timor will be evaluated as soon as he returns to Brussels tomorrow. The Commission will keep the European Parliament informed about this.
I see, incidentally, from this afternoon’s news agency reports that the World Bank has calculated after its mission that between USD 260 million and USD 300 million would be needed for medium-term reconstruction in ruined East Timor and that it will be seeking most of the funds from donors in Tokyo next month. We will be attending that donors’ conference."@en1
