lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too would like to express my thanks and congratulations to Mr Imbeni for his excellent report. I agree with him that ECHO has in the past been and can continue to be in the future an excellent instrument for humanitarian intervention in the world’s crises, and this aid must be given an increasingly higher profile and become one of the trade marks of European Union action, for so it has been in recent years, I recall, for example when there was an Commissioner for ECHO in the Commission. I therefore feel that this evaluation, which attempts to improve the image of the programme, is right and necessary, and it appears, to a large extent, to be the aim of the excellent Imbeni report. I have tabled two purely technical amendments to the report, on the subject of the visibility of the programme in particular. We need to strengthen, develop and, I would argue, provide autonomous funding for this opportunity for the European Union to publicise ECHO’s activities, for it is an unknown fact, for example, that it contributes over 50% to the budget of the Commissioner for Refugees. I therefore call upon the Commission to give very serious consideration to Parliament’s suggestions and to take the Imbeni report carefully into account when carrying out the restructuring which is to take place to make ECHO’s actions increasingly useful and effective in assisting the areas and peoples in the greatest need."@en1
