". – Mr President, on Georgia, I can give the following information: an estimated 7 000 Chechen refugees are believed to be in the Pankisi Valley in Georgia. Since the outbreak of the conflict in the autumn of 1999, ECHO has allocated a total of EUR 820 000 in humanitarian aid to this beneficiary group. The operations funded focused mostly on basic healthcare. However, given the limited budgetary resources and the increasing humanitarian needs in the northern Caucasus, allocations need to be prioritised.
Therefore, so far this year, no funding has been earmarked for Chechen refugees in Georgia. An ECHO assessment to be undertaken in September – the one I spoke about – as well as the further evolution of needs on the ground will determine possible further ECHO assistance in favour of Chechen refugees in Georgia.
This is a very cautious evaluation, but so far I am confident that the balance of our actions is correct. On the Chechnya situation proper, I am not currently planning any mission there. We are following very closely every activity there. The setting up of an internal office is not considered to be the most efficient way to proceed at this time. We go in and out and are monitoring as closely as possible and as closely as we are allowed to."@en1
