"Mr President, I am very happy to hear that, in order to fulfil commitments, more resources and personnel are required. As Parliament is aware of this, we will offer our full support.
However, I would like to ask a question, since I have not had time to study the document at length. What will happen to humanitarian aid?
We understand that the Union’s policy of humanitarian aid does not end with simply granting it, but it has to continue – we talk in this context of a ‘continuum’ – so that development policies can be carried out. Otherwise, we may see a repetition of what is happening in Mozambique at the moment: clearly, humanitarian aid was removed, ECHO disappeared, development policy is no longer being implemented and therefore, violence may erupt once again.
Within this ‘continuum’ I would like to know whether, as has been the case until now, ECHO will be an office dependent on the Commission, but whose action will be based on development policies aimed at what we want to see, and that is the eradication of poverty."@en1
