"The terrible disaster that struck Haiti a year ago shocked us all and led to a global current of good will, making logistical, human, financial and humanitarian resources available immediately and on a large scale.
With a year gone by, it was appropriate to reassess the situation on the ground, not least because Haiti no longer dominates the headlines in the mass media. The tabled resolution makes this assessment, and points out paths and solutions to the immense and serious problems experienced by the population in their day-to-day lives. As far as I am concerned, it does it well: all that is missing is a greater tendency towards involving local communities and associations in distribution, and in seeking solutions for the future.
Nevertheless, I would stress the strong focus on ‘long-term commitment’ and on seeking solutions that ‘tackle the root causes of underlying poverty in Haiti once and for all’, and the call for the EU/Member States to incorporate ‘local food production and food security into the reconstruction effort in Haiti, via the development of rural infrastructure and the provision of aid to small farmers’.
I also hope that a definitive solution will be found quickly with regard to the makeshift refugee camps, in which there are close to a million people living in almost subhuman conditions."@en1
