"Mr President, the political situation in Cambodia is complex. Only this morning, a Dutch aid worker over there told me that he would not know which party he would vote for in the general elections at the end of this month. His message is clear and fair: Europe must treat all Cambodian parties with the same amount of criticism as we follow their progress to the ballot boxes. In that sense, I am also waiting for the report of the EU election observers.
Meanwhile, Cambodia is undergoing a transition – from being a country primarily dependent on humanitarian aid to being a regular developing country. There is still a need for assistance from the European Union. I have heard very critical comments from the field about the coordination and effectiveness of this European helping hand. The way to build a better future for the people of Cambodia is through decentralisation and the frequent involvement of co-financing organisations. In short, the Echo investments, while useful, require a logical sequel in the form of the actual implementation of the EC strategy document for Cambodia."@en1
