"I believe that the various conclusions adopted by the Council all refer to monitoring and evaluation. The Commission is required to render accounts, but the funds earmarked for Africa in the various frameworks, particularly that of the Cotonou Agreement, are reserved funds. This means that it is not possible to draw on these resources to finance other activities, such as those relating to the tsunami disaster. I believe there are enough guarantees to preclude any transfer of funds.
Having said that, I recognise the need to ensure that future funding cannot be reduced because of the special effort – entirely commendable though it is – made by the European Union and the Member States to help the countries stricken by the disaster; I also recognise the need to ensure that none of this has any adverse effect on Africa, which, as you so rightly said, faces a tsunami of its own on an almost daily basis."@en1
