"Mr President, I was asked a question which was addressed to Mr Patten, who is responsible for foreign and security policy. He is not here today. He will assume office tomorrow. The Commission will have its first meeting on Saturday. In that first meeting the situation in East Timor will be on the agenda. There will be three basic issues: how to re-establish peace; what the urgent humanitarian needs are and how they can be met in the area; how to prepare a multi-annual programme to build institutions in East Timor.
As far as the ECHO’s activities so far and at the moment are concerned, Mrs Halonen, the Foreign Minister of Finland and President of the Council would like to say that the ECHO humanitarian aid office has been present in East Timor since 15 July. There have been six partners in East Timor. They were fully in action until 9 September when they had to be evacuated for security reasons to Australia. All these people are returning to East Timor as soon as the security situation improves. We hope that the recent UN Security Council resolution allows the situation to develop so that all the humanitarian aid activities can be restarted soon in East Timor."@en1
