"Today we have voted in favour of the resolution, drawn up on basis of the report by Mr Cornillet, on a European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid. I would like to thank the rapporteur and confirm once again my approval of this important document.
We are well aware of the fact that the European Union – and here I am thinking of the Commission and the Member States – is the leading provider of humanitarian aid. The EU contribution for 2006 amounted to only EUR 2 billion. I completely agree with the opinion that the EU should determine where to set the limit for the new level of humanitarian aid. On the other hand, the EU has to define its position in view of the new international initiatives and the implementation of the reform initiated by the United Nations. As a member of the Committee on Budgets, I would like to point out the third problem that the EU needs to solve, namely improving the coordination of Community and Member States’ resources with a view to making them easily accessible for the victims of humanitarian disasters.
I hope that Parliament’s concrete and precise position will facilitate the achievement of our common objectives and help find consensus on the subject of humanitarian aid."@en1
