"First in answer to Mrs Kinnock – we are indeed in close contact with civil society. Civil society represents a hope of achieving a
society. But there is some way to go right now.
We are also in direct contact with the opposition. We make a point of getting in contact with all players in a very visible and clear way. We are urging the Mugabe government to accept that pluralism must be there to stay, and this is also the point of sending in the observers.
I hope we can solve the problems of funding of the observer mission. I have to tell Parliament that this once again demonstrates the inadequacy of our system. We cannot just push a button somewhere in our system and the funds appear. It is highly complicated to find the money for this in time. This is the kind of system we have. Yesterday’s discussion about the external relations reform is even today relevant. At least we have excellent coordination on the ground in Zimbabwe with the Member States, which is very helpful.
Let me finally explain to you what we are doing on the ground even in this situation. We are deciding on a EUR 19 million grant for very targeted poverty alleviation in Zimbabwe via a microproject scheme, part of which will be used to support resettlement of the poorest people on legally acquired land. This will demonstrate in practice how land should be redistributed – in marked contrast to what is going on in Zimbabwe right now."@en1
