"Question No 44 by Mihail Papayannakis ():
During the seminar of 1 and 2 March in Norrköping, Commissioner Nielson presented shocking figures on armed conflicts and their impact on children. According to UNICEF estimates, 2 million children were killed over the past decade as a direct or indirect result of armed conflicts, whilst a further 6 million children were left disabled or seriously injured, 1 million were orphaned, 20 million were forced to flee their homes and more than 300 000 were themselves involved in the fighting. According to the Commissioner, these figures are not totally reliable because there is no effective system for recording such data.
Bearing in mind that the Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office has spent around EUR 40 million on these children since the start of 2000, will the Commission act on the wish expressed by the Commissioner responsible and develop a standardised information system which might be used by those responsible on the spot – peace-keeping troops, staff working for humanitarian organisations, etc. – to gather and record data, which would help to determine the real scale of the problem and deal with it more systematically?"@en1
