"Today, we voted in plenary on the report on the European Consensus on humanitarian aid.
The European Union, through the Commission and the Member States combined, is the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid. Its contribution represents more than 40% of all official international humanitarian assistance. The Union’s humanitarian policy is the practical expression of its commitment to supporting people in third countries in need of assistance when they are at their most vulnerable.
It is important to emphasise that the provision of aid must be based solely on identified need and the degree of vulnerability, that the quality and quantity of the aid are determined primarily by an initial evaluation, and that the evaluation process needs to be further improved, particularly with regard to the application of vulnerability criteria, especially regarding women, children and disabled groups.
Furthermore, the genuine and continuous involvement – and, if possible, participation – of beneficiaries in the management of aid is one of the essential conditions for the quality of humanitarian responses, particularly in the case of long-term crises."@en1
